Current work
I am currently an SNSF-funded professor and the head of the research group GR-JET in SMA/FSB. Some of my recent research projects include the following:
- Constructing an Euler system from higher dimensional cycles on unitary groups and using it to study the Bloch-Kato conjecture for automorphic representations for unitary groups.
- Constructing universal norms from special cycles in unitary Shimura varieties, proving non-triviality of these norms and Iwasawa theoretic applications (joint with Hunter Brooks and Reda Boumasmoud).
- Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjectural formula for elliptic curves of analytic rank 1 (joint with Christopher Skinner and Xin Wan).
- Computing cyclic isogenies for abelian varieties with real multiplication (joint with Alina Dudeanu and Damien Robert).
- Random self-reducibility of the discrete logarithm problem in genus 2 (joint with Benjamin Wesolowski).
- Structure of isogeny graphs of abelian surfaces and threefolds over finite fields (joint with H. Brooks and B. Wesolowski).
Biography
Currently, I am a Swiss National Science Foundation Professor in number theory, arithmetic algebraic geometry and mathematical cryptology at SMA, EPFL. I completed my PhD in number theory and arithmetic geometry at the University of California, Berkeley in 2008 under the supervision of Prof. Ken Ribet. I was then a post-doc at IHES, Bures-sur-Yvette as well as the Laboratory for Cryptologic Algorithms, LACAL at EPFL.
