Scholar-generated biography
Niven Achenjang is a postdoctoral researcher in arithmetic geometry, focusing on the interplay between algebraic geometry and number theory. Their research explores topics such as Brauer groups, 2-Selmer groups, and elliptic curves, particularly in characteristic 2 and over global function fields. Achenjang's work addresses the arithmetic of varieties, including integral points, étale fundamental groups, and singular fibers on elliptic surfaces. They also contribute to the study of divisor functions, auto forms, and K-theory, with an emphasis on stacky curves and their associated Brauer groups. Their research provides foundational insights into the structure and behavior of arithmetic objects in algebraic geometry.
