Akshay Venkatesh

I'm a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ. I am interested in mathematics in the broad sense, including the philosophy and history of the subject. Unfortunately, because of the volume of email I get, I am often unable to respond to queries not directly related to mathematics, and I will not respond to automatically generated emails.
