معرفی
Diana Mocanu is a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn. Previously, she completed her PhD at the University of Warwick under Prof. Samir Siksek, focusing on Diophantine equations over totally real fields using modular forms and S-unit equations. She holds an MMath from the University of Oxford, where her dissertation explored profinite groups as Galois groups.
Research Interests:
- Modular method for Diophantine equations
- Galois representations and elliptic curves
- Arithmetic geometry
- Hyperelliptic curves and isogeny-based cryptography
Her work bridges number theory and cryptography, with recent publications on conductor exponents for hyperelliptic curves and asymptotic Fermat equations. Mocanu has presented at major conferences such as BIRS Modern Breakthroughs in Diophantine Problems and the Ukraine Algebra Conference. She actively organizes events like WINGs 2023 (Women in Number Theory and Geometry) and co-leads the Isogeny-based Cryptography Study Group at Warwick.
Teaching & Service: Teaching assistant for advanced modules (Galois Theory, Modularity, Reflection Groups) and undergraduate supervisor at the University of Warwick. She also served as President of the Oxford University Mathematics Society (Invariants).
