Research

My research interests lie mostly in Analytical Number theory, in particular Diophantine approximation. More specific areas of interest:

I'm also interested in some aspects of combinatorics on words, computational number theory, dynamic systems and ergodicity.

Editorial activity

I am an associate editor of the Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society. Please visit this link for more information about the journal and paper submission.

Publications

Edited Book

D. Badziahin, A. Gorodnik and N. Peyerimhoff, Dynamics and Analytic Number theory, London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series 437, Cambridge University Press, 2016.

Written by leading experts, this book explores several directions of current research at the interface between dynamics and analytic number theory. Topics include Diophantine approximation, exponential sums, Ramsey theory, ergodic theory and homogeneous dynamics. The origins of this material lie in the 'Dynamics and Analytic Number Theory' Easter School held at Durham University in 2014. Key concepts, cutting-edge results, and modern techniques that play an essential role in contemporary research are presented in a manner accessible to young researchers, including PhD students. This book will also be useful for established mathematicians. The areas discussed include ubiquitous systems and Cantor-type sets in Diophantine approximation, flows on nilmanifolds and their connections with exponential sums, multiple recurrence and Ramsey theory, counting and equidistribution problems in homogeneous dynamics, and applications of thin groups in number theory. Both dynamical and 'classical' approaches towards number theoretical problems are also provided.

Some other math. related interests

I hold the position of AMOC State Director for New South Wales.
I run the MaPS (Mathematical Problem Solving) correspondence program for High School students in NSW.
I organised the Tournament of the Towns in Sydney in 2018-2021. However, because of the Russian invasion into Ukraine, the Australian Maths Trust decided to stop all projects linked with Russia. As a result, I no longer hold the tournament at USyd.

Here are the computational projects in which I participated:
