Zhiyu Zhang

Zhiyu Zhang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Stanford University. She can be contacted via email at zyuzhang@stanford.edu or by telephone at (650) 723-7173. Her office is located in Building 380, 382-C. Zhang graduated with a mathematics degree in 2022 and completed her postdoctoral research at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute. Her dissertation focused on arithmetic transfers, modularity of arithmetic theta series, and the geometry of local-global Shimura varieties at parahoric levels.

Zhiyu Zhang is a researcher at Stanford University specializing in arithmetic geometry, L-functions, Langlands program, moduli spaces, and representation theory. Their work explores deep connections between arithmetic geometry and automorphic forms, focusing on topics such as maximal parahoric arithmetic transfers, special cycles, and the Kudla-Rapoport conjecture. Zhang's research also addresses the twisted arithmetic fundamental lemma and relative trace formulas, particularly in the context of unitary Shimura varieties and Rapoport-Zink spaces. Their contributions span the interplay between algebraic geometry, number theory, and representation theory, with an emphasis on modularity and central values of L-functions.
