2018 Graduate Achievement Award recipient
“The Ole Miss math department has many great number theorists, and I am lucky to study with them. My current research for my doctoral thesis is on the irregularities of value distribution of L-functions. This is joint work with Jonathan Bober at the University of Bristol and my supervisor, Micah Milinovich, associate professor of mathematics.”
Zhencao’s interests are theory of the Riemann zeta-function, L-functions, distribution of prime numbers, and structures of sumsets. He has had two papers accepted for publication in journals and has given research talks at five conferences.
