Noy Soffer Aranov

I am a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Utah in Prof. Jon Chaika’s research group. Previously, I was a Ph.D. student at the Department of Mathematics at the Technion working under the supervision of Prof. Uri Shapira.  Before this, I was a M.Sc. student at the Einstein Institute of Mathematics working with Prof. Tamar Ziegler. 

I am delighted to join the Institute of Analysis and Number Theory at  TU Graz as a tenure track assistant professor in October 2025.

I research the interplay between homogeneous dynamics, diophantine approximations, and geometry of numbers, mostly over fields with positive characteristic. This setting leads to the use of various tools, such as combinatorics, automatic sequences, fractal geometry, algebraic groups, ergodic theory, and metric number theory.

The pictures in the banners are from a hike I took to Ledgemere, the Mill B Trail, Red Pine Lake, and Jack's  Mountain near Salt Lake City. The picture in the footer is a tiling which generates the number wall of the 5-Cantor sequence generated by Steven Robertson.
