Tom Weston is a Professor and Department Head in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His research focuses on Number Theory, particularly the interplay between L-functions and Selmer groups, with contributions to Iwasawa theory, modular forms, and arithmetic geometry. He earned his S.B. from MIT (1996), and M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University (1997, 2000) under Barry Mazur.
His educational background includes postdoctoral roles at the University of Michigan (2000-02), UC Berkeley (2002-03), and Amherst College (2003-04). Research interests span L-functions, elliptic curves, Galois representations, and deformation theory. He has advised multiple Ph.D. students and authored influential papers on topics like Selmer groups, Euler systems, and modular curves.
Key publications include works on anticyclotomic μ-invariants, explicit reciprocity laws for modular forms, and diophantine stability for elliptic curves. His expository contributions cover topics from cobordism theory to the Banach-Tarski paradox. He is actively involved in teaching and mentoring, as highlighted by his award-winning pedagogy.
