Asimina S. Hamakiotes

My name is Asimina and in Fall 2025, I will be a Peter M. Curran Visiting Assistant Professor at Fordham University. In Spring 2025, I completed my Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Connecticut (UConn) under Álvaro Lozano-Robledo, where I was supported by the Graduate Fellowship for STEM Diversity (GFSD) from 2022 - 2025. My interests are in number theory and algebra, specifically, arithmetic geometry and algebraic number theory.

In Spring 2020, I graduated from Macaulay Honors at Baruch College (CUNY) with a B.A. in Mathematics and minors in Philosophy and Interdisciplinary studies of New York. In Fall 2017, I placed second at the Traders@MIT competition (the largest intercollegiate algorithmic trading competition in the country). In Spring 2018, I worked in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) with Group One Trading as a Trade Analyst Intern. In the summer of 2018, I participated in the NSF funded number theory REU at Oregon State University and was advised by Holly Swisher. In Spring 2019, I studied abroad in Budapest Semesters in Mathematics (BSM). In the summer of 2019, I participated in the NSF funded number theory REU at Texas A&M University and was advised by Riad Masri. My senior year, I was the first student at Baruch to write an honors thesis in math, and was advised by Andrew Obus.

I have a 4.5 year old female German Shepherd named Athena. Her instagram is @athenahamakiotes. In my free time, I like to do Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo. I also enjoy swimming, going on walks/hikes, and listening to music.
