• additive/arithmetic combinatorics
  
• 
  extremal combinatorics
  
• finite fields and/or finite geometry
  
• combinatorial number theory
  
• analytic number theory

How to apply: Please email cyip30@gatech.edu with (i) your CV and (ii)

transcripts (unofficial is fine for initial contact). Informal inquiries
