About Brendan

Brendan Creutz is an Associate Professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. He serves as Associate Head of School (Research). His research interests lie in number theory and arithmetic geometry, particularly Brauer-Manin obstructions, explicit descent on elliptic curves and abelian varieties, local-global principles for rational and quadratic points on algebraic varieties, zero-cycles, and étale descent obstructions. Creutz obtained his PhD from Jacobs University Bremen in 2010 with a thesis entitled "Explicit second p-descent on elliptic curves." Before joining the University of Canterbury, he held teaching positions at the University of Sydney (MATH3067 Coding Theory, 2012), Universität Bayreuth (courses including Algebraic Number Theory, Cryptography, and Diophantine Equations, 2008/2009 to 2010/11), and Jacobs University Bremen (Introductory Number Theory, Complex Analysis, 2005 to 2008).
