معرفی
Margaret Bilu is a Researcher and Courant Instructor at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University. She completed her PhD at Université Paris-Sud (Orsay) under Antoine Chambert-Loir and has been a teaching assistant at the Mathematics Department of École Normale Supérieure. Starting in 2020, she became a Marie Curie Fellow at IST Austria, collaborating with Tim Browning. Her work focuses on developing motivic analogues in number theory and algebraic geometry, particularly using the Grothendieck ring of varieties.
Education: PhD in Mathematics from University of Paris-Sud (2015–?), Master's studies at École Normale Supérieure (including work on quadratic forms and Kaplansky conjectures), and a Part III essay at the University of Cambridge on complex multiplication of abelian varieties. She also holds a Master's thesis on Hrushovski and Kazhdan's motivic Poisson summation formula.
Research Interests: Bilu's research explores intersections between number theory and algebraic geometry, emphasizing motivic integration, arithmetic geometry, and applications of o-minimal structures. Her contributions include foundational work on motivic Euler products and rational points on analytic varieties. Her PhD thesis introduced novel methods in motivic statistics, with applications to moduli spaces.
Travel & Engagement: Active participant in international conferences such as the Erwin Schrödinger Institute's Arithmetic Statistics (2020), Simons Symposium on Geometry of Arithmetic Statistics (2020), and workshops at MIT, Princeton, and ETH Zürich. Her talks have addressed topics ranging from motivic integration to non-archimedean geometry.
Teaching & Outreach: Taught courses on generating series, graph theory, and continued fractions during her academic career. She has contributed to mathematics outreach programs like Animath and the French Tournament of Young Mathematicians, promoting problem-solving and mathematical exploration among students.
