PhD Candidate · UC Berkeley

Alex Feiner

Hi! I am a third year PhD student at UC Berkeley, and I study arithmetic geometry and number theory. In particular, I am interested in 𝑝-adic geometry and the geometry of Shimura varieties. I am fortunate to be supported by the NSF GRFP, and I am currently advised by both Sug Woo Shin and Yunqing Tang.

My email adress is alexander_feiner@berkeley.edu.
