Masha VlasenkoI am an associate professor at the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw (see my page there). In past I was a lecturer at the University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin, and a researcher at the Max Planck Institute in Bonn and Institute of Mathematics in Kyiv. Contact: masha(dot)vlasenko(at)gmail(dot)comMy interests are in algebraic number theory, more particularly in automorphic forms, L-functions, periods and p-adic methods. I am co-organizing the Warsaw Number Theory Seminar. I am a member of the Co-ordination Committee of the International Centre for Mathematics in Ukraine (ICMU) and a member of the Board of ASBB Foundation supporting Belarusian and Ukrainian students of mathematics and informatics at the University of Warsaw. |
23 March 2022, in Warsaw together with my younger daughter, my parents, my two cousins and colleagues-mathematicians from Ukraine. Picture by Michał Kotowski.
