Sameera Vemulapalli
About
I am a Benjamin Peirce Fellow at Harvard, working with Melanie Wood. I was formerly an NSF postdoc at Stanford, working with Ravi Vakil. Before that, I was a graduate student at Princeton University, advised by Manjul Bhargava. My email is vemulapalli@math.harvard.edu.
My primary research interest is arithmetic statistics, especially in shapes of orders and ideals in number fields (and their distributions), and analogously, in covers of curves. I am also interested in determinantal varieties (especially over the integers), point-counting problems, heights (especially those related to number fields), and additive combinatorics. My PhD thesis is titled ''Successive minima of orders in number fields'' and can be found
here.
