George Turcas

George Turcas is a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca. His primary research interests lie in Number Theory, focusing on Diophantine equations, elliptic curves, modularity, and Galois representations. He earned his PhD from the University of Warwick in 2019 under Samir Siksek, preceded by an MASt (Part III) at the University of Cambridge. Turcas has held postdoctoral positions at IMAR and the University of Warwick. His teaching includes courses on affine geometry, geometric complements, and specialized master’s programs for educators. He actively contributes to conferences and publishes on topics bridging number theory with algebraic geometry and cryptography.

Research highlights include studies on isogenies of elliptic curves, mod p Galois representations, and Fermat’s equation over quadratic fields. His work often involves computational tools like Magma for verifying mathematical conjectures. Despite no explicitly listed awards, his prolific publication record reflects significant contributions to the field. He coordinates teaching activities across multiple departments and manages student communications via MSTeams. Turcas collaborates internationally, presenting at events in Croatia, Italy, Spain, and the UK.
