The general theme of Dwork's research was ''p''-adic cohomology and ''p''-adic differential equations. He published two papers under the pseudonym Maurizio Boyarsky. Career Dwork received his Ph.D. at Columbia University in 1954 under direction of Emil Artin (his formal advisor was John Tate); Nick Katz was one of his students..
