Daniel Rayor Hast

I am a postdoc with the Simons Collaboration on Arithmetic Geometry, Number Theory, and Computation in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at Boston University. I'm currently working in number theory, arithmetic algebraic geometry, and Diophantine geometry, with a focus on p-adic approaches to rational points on varieties.
