Jaclyn Lang

Jaclyn Lang is the Selma Lee Bloch Brown Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Temple University. Her research centers on algebraic number theory, focusing on modular forms, Galois representations, elliptic curves, motives, and p-adic methods.

• Education:
  • Ph.D. in Mathematics, UCLA (2016), advised by Haruzo Hida
  • Part III of the Mathematical Tripos, University of Cambridge (2010), supervised by Tom Fisher
  • MA in Mathematics, Bryn Mawr College (2009), supervised by Helen Grundman
• Research Interests:

  She works on advanced problems in number theory, including the Eisenstein ideal, pseudorepresentations, and arithmetic geometry of elliptic curves. Her work often bridges algebraic geometry and automorphic forms using p-adic techniques.
