Introduction
Warning! This site is mostly empty.
I ran into some issues with the previous template I was using for my website and made the (perhaps foolish) decision to rebuild it from scratch, thus embodying the quintessential American spirit of "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps." Most of this work will likely happen when I'm hit with another bout of insomnia. In the meantime, my CV is available upon request. My apologies for the inconvenience.
Name in Arabic: سمر الحمداني 🗣️
I am a Mathematics Ph.D. candidate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, studying harmonic analysis under the tutelage of Betsy Stovall. My doctoral minor is in statistics. I am incredibly fortunate for my graduate studies and research to be partially supported through the Analysis and PDEs Research Training Grant.
As of late, I spend my time thinking about problems pertaining to Radon-like transforms and Fourier restriction. More details are forthcoming. :~)
I'm a co-organizer for Gender Minorities in Math at Wisconsin, which is the department's graduate portion of our local AWM chapter. Previously, I co-founded and co-organized the Graduate Analysis and PDEs Seminar.
Before starting the doctoral program, I earned my B.A. in Math, B.S. in Biomedical Physics, and M.S. in Math from Fresno State (go Bulldogs!). Afterwards, I briefly earned a living as a data analyst and mathematical statistician. My hobbies change with the seasons, although graphic design has been a passion of mine for several years. Currently, I enjoy spending my time weightlifting, experimenting with various salsa recipes, and freeing myself from my worldly possessions.
This website is currently being redone--sorry! The best way to keep up with the happenings of my enthralling life is by email: alhamdani at math dot wisc dot edu. I generally reply within an $\varepsilon$-neighborhood of 24 hours on business days.
