Luca Candelori

Luca Candelori is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Wayne State University, affiliated with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. His research spans number theory, algebraic geometry, quantum computing, and quantum information science, focusing on modular forms, geometric invariant theory, and mathematical models for quantum states.

Education:

• A.B. in Mathematics, Harvard University (2008)
• Ph.D. in Mathematics, McGill University (2014)

Research Interests: Luca’s work explores modular forms, algebraic geometry, and quantum computing. Specific topics include minimal integral models for quantum field theory, Hecke operators, Riemann surfaces with complex multiplication, and p-adic properties of mock modular forms.

Publication Trends: His recent articles emphasize the intersection of quantum information theory and algebraic geometry, with a strong focus on modular forms and their applications. Earlier work delves into representation theory, orbifold curves, and theta functions.
