Number Theory & Geometry
Lecturer in the Geometry group at Babeș-Bolyai University. My research lies in Number Theory: Diophantine applications of modularity, Galois representations and Bianchi modular forms.
I am a lecturer in the Geometry group at Babeș-Bolyai University. Previously I held postdoctoral positions at IMAR and the University of Warwick. I obtained my PhD from the University of Warwick under the supervision of Professor Samir Siksek. Before that I was an MASt (Part III) student at the University of Cambridge.
My research interests include Diophantine applications of modularity, Galois representations and Bianchi modular forms.
Given the significant applications of number theory in cryptography, I occasionally consult for private software companies on cryptographic topics, particularly homomorphic encryption.
My work explores aspects of modern Number Theory at the interface of arithmetic geometry, rational points on curves, the theory of elliptic curves and modular (including Bianchi modular) forms. A recurring theme is leveraging modularity and properties of Galois representations to find solutions for Diophantine equations over number fields.
