Maleeha Khawaja
I'm currently a Research Associate, at the University of Bristol, working with Dr. Céline Maistret. 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.
My interests lie in the global and local arithmetic of curves, rational points on curves, computational number theory and the explicit resolution of Diophantine equations.
