Zeev Rudnick

Zeev Rudnick (Tel Aviv University) was awarded a PhD from Yale University in 1990, followed by positions at Stanford University and Princeton University, before joining Tel-Aviv in 1995. His main research interests lie broadly in Number Theory (especially analytic Number Theory) and Mathematical Physics (especially quantum chaos). He has worked on uniform distribution theory, the study of the Riemann zeta function, developing the arithmetic of function fields over finite fields by studying analogues of various well-known problems over integers, developing connections of number theory with mathematical physics and random matrix theory, and the formulation of various conjectures (most notably the Quantum Unique Ergodicity conjecture with Peter Sarnak). He was awarded the Erdos prize in 2001 elected a Fellow of the AMS 2012 was an invited speaker at the ICM in 2014 and was awarded two ERC Advanced Grants in 2013 and 2019.
