Selected Talks

A list of talks I have given at conferences and seminars:

“Generalisations of the Petersson/Kuznetsov formulas at finite places” (Aug 2026)

Presented at the 7th EU/US Summer School and Workshop on Automorphic Forms and Related Topics, Bedlewo, Poland.

The slides are an updated version of those presented in Manhattan Kansas.

“Analogues of the forward and backward Kuznetsov formulas for finite places” (May 2026)
Presented at the 38th Automorphic Forms Workshop, Manhattan Kansas, US.
Slides can be found here.

“Generalisations of the Kuznetsov/Petersson formulas via the relative trace approach” (Dec 2025)
Presented at the Algebra and Number theory seminar at Queen Mary University of London.


I have also given some 30 min introductory talks at the UCL ECR seminars, aimed at PhD and PostDoc students in any area of mathematics:

“Prime numbers and their distributions” (Mar 2026)
Everyone has heard of the Riemann Hypothesis, but perhaps not everyone knows why it is important. Analysis offers rich insights on how prime numbers are expected to behave. In this talk I provide a low-level explanation on how this famous open problem is connected to how expectation differs from reality.

“A crash course of Kloosterman sums” (Sep 2025)
Any analyst working with modular forms is fated to meet with the Kuznetsov formula at least once in his lifetime; it relates objects coming from analysis (Fourier coefficients) to objects coming from algebra (Kloosterman sums). I present some of the underlying ideas and applications to number theory.
