Hello! I'm Arian Nadjimzadah. I am a math PhD student at UCLA advised by Terence Tao and Hong Wang, with expected graduation in Spring 2027. I am interested in Fourier analysis, geometric measure theory, and related areas. Recently, I have been interested in the connection between oscillatory integral operators and curved variants of the Kakeya conjecture.
