About Me

I am Zachary Parker (he/him/his) and I am in my fifth year as a Ph.D. student in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at UNC Greensboro studying under Dan Yasaki. I am on the job market!

My mathematical interests are in number theory and geometry. In particular, my current project uses a certain reduction theory to compute spaces of modular forms, or more accurately, the cohomology of linear groups over imaginary quadratic fields. The goal is to connect these computations to Galois representations of algebraic number fields and reveal arithmetic information. See my Research tab for more.

I believe in the accessibility and equity of mathematics for all and I subscribe to Federico Ardila-Mantilla's axioms. I am equally driven by my goals to become a better educator as I am by my own scholarship. You can find more about my efforts and experience as an educator in my Teaching tab.

Outside of school, I am can be found exploring by foot, getting a tattoo, listening to a podcast or heavy metal, making soup, gaming, or annoying my cat. I spend a lot of time watching and thinking about basketball, especially my hometown Phoenix Suns.

I condem any pencil lead greater 0.3mm in the strongest possible terms.
