Alexandre Maksoud

Since September 2025, I have been a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, working in the group of Peter Scholze. 

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Luxembourg in the team of Gabor Wiese, and later at Paderborn University under the supervision of Fabian Januszewski. Prior to that, I studied at the École normale supérieure de Cachan and earned my PhD from the University of Lille under the supervision of Mladen Dimitrov. 

My research area is Number Theory, with a particular focus on Iwasawa Theory, which seeks to provide arithmetic interpretations of L-functions and of their p-adic analogues. In my PhD thesis, I formulated and studied a main conjecture for classical weight one modular forms, combining methods from both Iwasawa theory of number fields and the p-adic variation of automorphic motives. Building on this work, I proposed a general Iwasawa-theoretic framework for describing special values of Artin L-functions.

Recently, my research has focused on the geometry of the eigencurve and its applications to Iwasawa theory.
