Hello! I am a researcher and outreach coordinator at Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik Bonn. I received my PhD in May 2023 from Boston University under the supervision of Jennifer Balakrishnan.
I am interested in explicit methods in number theory, such as those for provably computing rational points on curves.
My given name is pronounced like "Wanda" without "d".
My e-mail address is:
