Research

Member of the Research Group(s): Number Theory
Current Students: Torre Caparatta (Ph.D.), Sandi Rudzinski (Ph.D.)
Former Students: Brian Sinclair (Ph.D.), Lance Everhart (M.A.), Sandi Rudzinski (M.A.), Ricky Farr (Ph.D.), Jonathan Milstead (Ph.D.), Ali Aslam (Dr. rer. nat., Technische Universität Kaiserslautern)

Research Interests: My research is in computational number theory. I am particularly interested in algorithms for local fields and computational class field theory. I am also investigating the distributions of the zeros of the (fractional) derivatives of the Riemann Zeta function.

Brief Biography

Dr. Pauli wrote his Diplomarbeit (Masters thesis) under the supervision of Michael Pohst at Technische Universität Berlin. He received his Ph.D. from Concordia University in Montreal in 2001 and as a Post Doctoral Fellow was the lead developer of the computer algebra system KASH/KANT. He has been at UNCG since 2006.
