Vefa Goksel

Vefa Goksel serves as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Research Focus:
Dr. Goksel specializes in Arithmetic Dynamics, a discipline investigating iterative processes in number-theoretic contexts. Her work examines rational maps over number fields, analyzing periodic point distributions and arithmetic structures through the lens of dynamical systems.

This research bridges Number Theory and Dynamical Systems, contributing to foundational mathematics by exploring connections between algebraic geometry, Diophantine equations, and complex dynamics within arithmetic frameworks.
