About Me

My name is David Nguyen. I have a popular Vietnamese last name and it is best pronounced Gwin in English. I completed my Ph.D. training in Analytic number theory in 2021 at the University of Californina, Santa Barbara Campus, where my advisor was Professor Yitang Zhang. I then spend a year as an FRG Postdoc at AIM, as part of a grant from the NSF (number DMS-1854398). My postdoc mentor at AIM is Professor J. Brian Conrey. Beginning August 2022, I will be a Coleman Postdoc at Queen's Univeristy, working under the suppervision of Professor Brad Rodgers.

A short essay I wrote in 2015, as part of my graduate school application, about my contributions to diversity stemming from my personal achievements is included below.

My path to math and, in particular, to analytic number theory is explored in the brief article I wrote at around the same time below.
