a [last name] [at] berkeley [dot] edu
From Fall 2025, I will be a Mathematics PhD student at the University of California, Berkeley. During the 2024-2025 academic year, I was enrolled in Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at the University of Cambridge, funded by a Churchill Scholarship. I graduated from Williams College in 2024 with a degree in mathematics and computer science. I am interested in number theory, particularly automorphic forms and L-functions. |
