Research Interests
My maininterest is the connection between Random Matrix Theory and certain number theoretical functions such as the Riemann zeta function and L-functions. This connection arises through the statistics of the zeros of these functions and can be exploited, allowing us to study zeta and L-functions using the well-developed techniques of Random Matrix Theory.
Research Themes
Sample Research Topic
Highlight on Random Matrix theory
Jon Keating and Nina Snaith at Bristol describe the energy levels in quantum systems with random matrix theory. Using RMT methods they produced a formula for predicting all of the moments of the Riemann zeta function.
