I completed my PhD at the University of Utah, supervised by Stefan Patrikis. I was born and raised in Costa Rica, where I completed bachelor's degrees in Mathematics and Economics at University of Costa Rica.
Before coming to Utah, I was an instructor at the University of Costa Rica and worked for the research department of the Central Bank of Costa Rica.
My last name is "Serrano López". It is composed of two words without a hyphen and it should be indexed by the letter "S".
You can find more in my CV.
I work on number theory.
I am interested in elliptic curves and questions in arithmetic statistics.
Fall 2020 - Spring 2021
I was awarded another fellowship from the University of Utah. I will be designing content for MATH 3010 Topics in the History of Mathematics during Fall 2020 and you can find more details about it here.
Fall 2019 - Spring 2020
I was awarded a fellowship from the University of Utah. I will not be teaching this academic year, but I will be working on my project.

Organizer and facilitator for reading group on number theory with four undergraduate students. Weekly meetings to discuss assigned exercises and readings.
Spring 2019
I supervised an undergraduate student's graduation project through weekly meetings. The project was on computational aspects of elliptic curve cryptography.
