Ashwin Iyengar

Hi! My name is Ashwin and I am the 2024-2025 American Mathematical Society Congressional Fellow, working for the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on health care policy for Senator Bernie Sanders. I work primarily on the FDA, prescription drug pricing and regulation, the CDC, and the spread of infectious diseases.

Previously, I was a J.J. Sylvester Assistant Professor (3 year postdoc) in the Johns Hopkins University mathematics department. Before that I was a Ph.D student at King’s College London and the London School of Geometry and Number Theory supervised by James Newton and Toby Gee, a master’s student at Paris Nord, and an undergraduate at UC Berkeley.

I also volunteer as a scientist at the Baltimore Underground Science Space (BUGSS), where I conduct research for the Open Insulin Foundation.
