• My official name is Yu Luo. "Yu" is pronounced like "Yü". You are welcome to call me Joey (my generation name is Zhao, and my parents initially intended to name me Zhaoyu Luo).
• I am currently (05/03/2026) the record keeper for 204.
• My research interests are in arithmetic algebraic geometry, with a primary focus on the geometric and arithmetic aspects of Shimura varieties.
