About Me

Hi! I’m Wei-Lun Tsai, an Assistant Professor at the University of South Carolina. Before coming to UofSC, I served as a Research Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Virginia. My mentor was Ken Ono. I recently obtained my Ph.D. from Texas A&M University. I was advised by Riad Masri. My research primarily lies in algebraic and analytic number theory, arithmetic geometry, and combinatorics. I am especially interested in automorphic and modular forms, arithmetic statistics, elliptic curves, L-functions, number fields, and partitions in representation theory. I use high-performance computing from time to time in my research, and during my time at UVA, I was a frequent user of RIVANNA (UVA HPC System).
