I am Afif^, currently a final-year mathematics PhD student at University of New South Wales, Australia, supervised by Alina Ostafe and Igor E. Shparlinski. I am in the postdoctoral job market for 2026 and onwards.

In shorthand, my PhD project studies arithmetic statistics of multivariate Diophantine equations using techniques from analytic number theory. Generally, I am also interested in various parts of discrete mathematics. Click here for more on my research and education.

My CV in pdf is available via this link. Here are the links to my Google Scholar, ORCID and zbMath profiles. My Erdős number is 3.

Address: School of Mathematics and Statistics, The University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia

I also tutored some classes in UNSW. In addition, I am also involved in several mathematical outreach activities, for example,

writing moe-fied mathematical books. Further information on these can be found here.

I came from Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. I am a native in Bahasa Indonesia and Basa Banjar, and could speak English and Python.

News: Will attend these for the rest of 2025:

• Hong Kong Laureate Forum 2025, November 2025.

• AustMS Annual Meeting, La Trobe University, Melbourne, December 2025.

^Muhammad is also fine, especially for non-Indonesians. Most Indonesians, including myself, do not have proper first-last name convention. See this Wikipedia link on this practice.
