Baiying Liu Receives NSF CAREER Award

Baiying Liu, UMN PhD 2013 under the guidance of Dihua Jiang -- currently a tenure track assistant professor at Purdue University -- has received an NSF CAREER Award.

The CAREER grant is for his project on "Automorphic Forms and the Langlands Program", which concerns certain problems within the Langlands Program. The Langlands program is a web of far-reaching and influential conjectures that predicts surprising connections between arithmetic and analysis. In this project he will investigate analytic properties of automorphic forms and their number-theoretic consequences in the Langlands program. The project also integrates educational opportunities, including public outreach lectures, undergraduate and graduate research activities, cross-disciplinary training and research, and graduate curriculum development.
