Sneha Chaubey is visiting the Department of Mathematics in the Fall quarter of 2025 as a Visiting Associate Professor. She is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at IIIT-Delhi, India. Her research interests lie in number theory and its interactions with geometry and dynamics. She is especially interested in analytic number theory, the distribution of sequences and their spacing statistics, using level spacing statistics and correlation measures, zeros of L-functions, and exponential sums. 

After graduating with my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics in 2020, I started working full-time as a Systems Engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, CA. I had previously interned at JPL during my undergraduate and graduate years, making the transition to a permanent position relatively smooth. As a mathematician in the engineering department at JPL, I tackled a variety of modeling tasks related to both project planning and operations.

I started my Lectureship in the Department of Mathematics at UC Davis in 1982 and reluctantly retired in the spring 2021. During that time I also spent 18 years as a member of the UC Davis Men’s Basketball coaching staff, highlighted by a Division II National Championship in 1998, an exciting four-year transition from Division II to Division I, and becoming a member of the Big West Athletic Conference. It was a long, busy, and rewarding journey with many ups and downs.
