Hello! As of fall 2021, I am an NSF postdoctoral fellow in the Stanford math department, sponsored by Richard Taylor. I work in algebraic number theory. Currently, my area of focus is p-adic automorphic forms, specifically eigenvarieties. My postdoc ends next summer and I am on the job market this fall.
I got my Ph.D. from Harvard in 2019, working with Mark Kisin.
I got my B.S. in mathematics with honors from Stanford in 2014, with a minor in computer science.
I can be contacted at lynnelle at stanford dot edu.
