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.
