Adam Harper

Adam Harper is a mathematician specialising in


number theory, particularly in analytic, combinatorial Adam J Harper
and probabilistic number theory. He is currently a
professor at the University of Warwick, England.
Harper was awarded the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize in
2019 "for several outstanding contributions to analytic
and probabilistic number theory."[1][2][3]

"Harper's research, both individually and in


collaboration, covers the theory of the Riemann zeta
function, random multiplicative functions, S-unit
equations, smooth numbers, the large sieve, and the
recent highly innovative "pretentious" approach to
number theory. In establishing these results, he has
shown mastery over probabilistic methods which he
Adam Harper in 2019
has used with remarkable effect in analytic number
theory." Born Lowestoft, England
Nationality British
Alma mater Exeter College (MMath)
Academic career University of Cambridge (PhD)
Awards SASTRA Ramanujan Prize (2019)
Adam Harper was born in Lowestoft in the United
Whitehead Prize (2020)
Kingdom. He did a four year MMath Course at Exeter
College, Oxford and won the Oxford Junior Scientific career
Mathematics Prize. He completed his PhD in 2012 at Fields Mathematics
Cambridge University under the guidance of Professor Institutions University of Warwick
Ben Green, and as a PhD student won the Smith Essay Doctoral
Ben Green
Prize. He was a Post-Doctoral Fellow with Professor advisor
Andrew Granville at CRM Montréal during 2012–13,
following which he was a Research Fellow at Jesus
College, Cambridge during 2013–16. He returned to Montréal in 2018 as Simons CRM Visiting
Professor. He is currently a Professor at the University of Warwick.[4]

Other awards
Adam Harper was awarded a Whitehead Prize in 2020 for "his deep and important contributions to
analytic number theory, and in particular for his work on the value distribution of the Riemann zeta
function and random multiplicative functions using sophisticated ideas and techniques from probability
theory."[5][6]
