Bao Le Hung

Bao Le Hung is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Northwestern University. He received his PhD from Harvard University in 2014 and held postdoctoral positions at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, the University of Chicago, and the Institute for Advanced Study. Le Hung joined Northwestern's faculty in 2018. His research focuses on algebraic number theory, particularly the Langlands correspondence, modular representation theory, and geometric representation theory, with an emphasis on the moduli space of p-adic local Galois representations. He was awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship in 2019 and held the Fondation Sciences Mathématiques de Paris Research Chair in 2021.

Bao Viet Le Hung is a researcher at Northwestern University specializing in Number Theory. Their work focuses on the modularity of elliptic curves over number fields, Galois representations, and the interplay between automorphy and potential modularity. Key contributions include studies on Serre-type conjectures, local models for deformation rings, and the Breuil-Mézard conjecture. They have explored the arithmetic of elliptic curves, Serre weights, and the behavior of complex conjugation in Galois representations. Their research also addresses the average size of 2-Selmer groups and the implications for 2-Selmer ranks. These investigations highlight the connections between algebraic geometry, representation theory, and number theory.
