Hui June Zhu

Hui June Zhu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University at Buffalo, part of the State University of New York system. She specializes in Arithmetic Geometry and Number Theory, focusing on topics such as abelian varieties, L-functions, exponential sums, and algebraic curves over finite fields. Her research intersects p-adic analysis, finite field theory, and algebraic geometry.

Education: PhD from the University of California, Berkeley. Her academic career includes contributions to understanding the arithmetic properties of curves and their associated L-functions.

Research Interests: Zhu’s work emphasizes the study of supersingular abelian varieties, p-rank stratification, Newton polygons, and p-adic variation of L-functions. She explores the interplay between geometric structures and number-theoretic properties, particularly in Artin-Schreier curves and exponential sums.

Recent Research Trends: Her recent publications (2013–2024) highlight advancements in constructing curves with controlled p-ranks, analyzing slopes of L-functions in Zp-covers, and exploring generic Newton slopes in two-variable settings. She also contributes to the study of crystalline representations and zeta functions of p-covers.
