Guilherme Zeus Dantas e Moura

I am a PhD student in the Department of Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo, supervised by Olya Mandelshtam. My research interests are in algebraic and bijective combinatorics, with a focus on permuted-basement non-symmetric Macdonald polynomials and related topics in symmetric function theory. I completed my Master of Mathematics in the same department in 2025-12, also under the supervision of Olya Mandelshtam.

Before Waterloo, I completed my Bachelor of Science degree at Haverford College in 2024-05, with majors in Mathematics and Linguistics. As a high school student, I was an IMO medalist. My Erdős number is two. My non-research interests include math olympiads, board games, linguistics, and Linux.

My family name is “Dantas e Moura”, so I should be listed as “Dantas e Moura, Guilherme Zeus” (not “Moura”). Please use “D” as the surname initial.

I am attempting to be the most famous Zeus in math (according to what appears when you search "zeus math"). My main opponents are a digital game called Zeus vs Monsters, and a card game called Zeus on the Loose. zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math zeus math.
