John Brian Conrey[1] (23 June 1955) is an American mathematician and the executive director of the American Institute of Mathematics. His research interests are in number theory, specifically analysis of L-functions and the Riemann zeta function.
Education
[edit]Conrey received his B.S. from Santa Clara University in 1976 and received his Ph.D. at the University of Michigan in 1980 under the supervision of Hugh Lowell Montgomery.[2][3]
Career
[edit]Conrey is the founding executive director of the American Institute of Mathematics, a position he has held since 1997.[4][5] Since 2005, he has been part-time professor at the University of Bristol, England.[6]
He is on the editorial board of the Journal of Number Theory.
Research
[edit]With Bui and Young, Conrey proved in 2011 that more than 41 percent of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function are on the critical line.[7]
With Jonathan Keating, Nina Snaith, and others, Conrey researched correlations of eigenvalues of random unitary matrices and Riemann zeta zeros.[8]
Awards and honors
[edit]The American Mathematical Society jointly awarded him the eighth annual Levi L. Conant Prize for expository writing in 2008 for The Riemann Hypothesis.[6][9] In 2015 he was elected as a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[10]
