Hello! This is a page where you can find out how to contact me. My preferred method of contact is email.
I receive a lot of emails and unfortunately, I have not yet found a way to manage them all responsibly, so it would help me if you read my guidelines below before sending me an email. Thank you!

Since I receive a high volume of emails, I would greatly appreciate it if you looked through the following list to see if it is necessary to send an email. Thank you!
Info for my students. Feel free to email me! Making time for students is important to me :)
Info for mathematicians in harmonic analysis/related fields. Feel free to email me!
Info for media. Feel free to email me! My availability is limited, so I might not be able to make time for interviews, but feel free to ask.
Educational initiatives. Feel free to email me! I love to help out with math circles, math camps, education, or related initiatives. I'm a little busy these days, but I'll try to find some time if I can.
Unsolicited AI-generated manuscripts. I receive a high volume of emails from individuals claiming to resolve famous unsolved problems in mathematics using LLMs. Please remember that even if an LLM tells you that you have proved, e.g., the Riemann hypothesis, this is likely not true. LLMs are prone to many types of errors and, with the current technology, it seems that LLMs are not able to generate rigorous proofs of most difficult problems.
Career advice. Please note that my experience working with younger students and mathematicians is limited. My academic accomplishments do not make me more qualified to provide advice. One source I would recommend looking through is Terry Tao's career advice page. On the other hand, if you're wondering about advice for nonstandard situations (such as whether or not to skip undergrad), feel free to email me, but keep in mind that my opinion is only one of many.
Report impersonation online. There have been several accounts online that appear to be impersonating me. If you find one of these, I would greatly appreciate it if you email me about it. My online accounts are listed in my ORCID ID. If you find another online account with my name, it is likely that it is not legitimate (unless I forgot one of my accounts lol). In particular, I do not have a Patreon account and do not solicit donations. On the other hand, there are also other people named Hannah Cairo with an online presence... So please please don't report an account named "Hannah Cairo" if it does not appear to be impersonating me. Thank you! :)
Other. Feel free to email me! Even though I've listed a bunch of reasons to not email me, I actually don't mind replying to emails! It's just that sometimes there's a little too many and there's not much I can do to help.
