Statement of Purpose to Join the Forum (max. 200 words)

I first heard about HKLF from my Indonesian acquaintances who previously participated in this forum. Their testimonies interest me in participating, especially when they tell the stories of networking with other promising young researchers from around the world and meeting laureates with vast experiences and awards. As a final-year PhD student who are inclined for postdoctoral roles in the near future, I believe attending HKLF is essential for preparing my future career as an aspiring discrete mathematician with vast connections.

In addition, as an Indonesian student who are interested in improving the state of Indonesian mathematical research, I believe this forum would allow me to network with fellow participants from various other countries. This thereby fostering interdisciplinary connections to make breakthrough discoveries, helping to improve Indonesian research.

Abstract of Research / Brief Description of Your Current Research Interest (max. 200 words)

The broadest description of my mathematical interest is on mathematics of discrete objects. With respect of my PhD training, I am working on arithmetic statistics of multivariate Diophantine equations with motivations from algebraic groups, using techniques from analytic number theory. In particular, several of my works concerns the statistics of some equations related to integer matrices and vectors. These equations have many variables as the matrices and vectors get bigger, which in turns requires various techniques in order to give good bounds on the magnitude of the number of solutions.

In addition, I have also published several papers on various combinatorial/number theoretical objects, varied from graph labelling to MDS matrices over finite fields.
