About

Hi, my name is Dongryul Kim, and many people also know me as Daniel. I am neither a topologist (Dongryul M. Kim) nor a singer-songwriter (Kim Dong-ryul).

As of April 2026, I’m a fifth-year Ph.D. student at Stanford studying mathematics, advised by Richard Taylor and Pol van Hoften. Before that, I was an undergraduate at Harvard and a student at Seoul Science High School. I will be at Imperial College London from September 2026.

My primary interests are in number theory and algebraic geometry, mainly understanding various $p$-adic geometric objects that are used in the Langlands program.

This website is generated and maintained using Zola with a theme cloned from Chirpy. I also host a capsule.
