Yiannis Fam
I am currently an MPhil (research masters) student at the University of Melbourne. My supervisors are Alex Ghitza and Chenyan Wu.
I was initially supported by the Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship, and now by the Robert George Williams Scholarship awarded by the University of Melbourne.
Previously, I was an undergraduate at the University of Cambridge where I achieved a Distinction in Part III. My Part III essay was on 'Two-Descent on the Jacobian of a Hyperelliptic Curve', under the supervision of Tom Fisher, and can be found under 'Research'.
A copy of my CV can be found here.
Research Interests
My interests are in number theory, in particular the study of elliptic curves, modular forms, Galois representations and singular moduli.
I am currently studying modular forms (mod p) and their associated systems of Hecke eigenvalues, following a letter of Serre relating these to Hecke eigenvalues coming from some quaternion construction. An English translation of this letter can be found on Alex's website.
