Maleeha Khawaja
I am currently on the job market. From October 2020 - April 2024, I was a PhD student at the University of Sheffield under the supervision of Dr. Frazer Jarvis. I passed my viva in July 2024. From May 2024 - September 2024, I was a Research Associate at the University of Bristol working with Dr. Céline Maistret.
My interests lie in the local and global arithmetic of curves, rational points on curves, computational number theory, and the explicit resolution of Diophantine equations.
My CV is available on request.
