Ajith Nair

I am a Postdoctoral research scholar in Mathematics at the  Arizona State University since August 2024 working under the mentorship of Florian Sprung. I completed my PhD at the City University of New York under the guidance of Gautam Chinta.

My research interests are in the area of Number theory. More specifically, I work on composition laws of homogeneous forms and their applications to arithmetic problems. In this area, the classical result is Gauss composition of binary quadratic forms which was generalized to higher composition laws in the work of Bhargava.

My research interests also include automorphic forms and representation theory.

Please check out my Research page for more information.

I am a co-organizer of the Number theory and Algebra seminar at ASU. If you are interested in giving a talk, feel free to get in touch! 

I am on the academic job market starting Fall 2026.
