Angelica Babei

Angelica Babei is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Howard University. Her research focuses on algebraic number theory with a computational emphasis, exploring orders in semisimple algebras, arithmetic subgroups, and modular forms. She uses Magma, Sage, and Python for computational work.

Education & Career:

• PhD in Mathematics from Dartmouth College (2019), advised by Thomas R. Shemanske.
• Postdoctoral Fellowships at McMaster University, Dartmouth’s Simons Collaboration, CRM thematic semester 'Cohomology in Arithmetic', and Vanderbilt University.

Research Interests: Her work bridges theoretical number theory and computational methods. Key areas include:

• Computational algebra and algebraic structures.
• Modular forms and their applications.
• Algorithmic approaches to zeta functions and orders in algebras.

Publications: Her recent work emphasizes zeta functions, Hilbert modular surfaces, and modular form series. Notable collaborations include studies on fusion rings and Eichler orders.

Teaching Philosophy: Advocates Federico Ardila’s four axioms, emphasizing equitable access to mathematics and empowering educational experiences.

Teaching Experience: Taught courses at McMaster University (e.g., Math 1K03), Vanderbilt (e.g., Methods of ODEs), and Dartmouth College (e.g., Linear Algebra).
