Andrew R Booker

Andrew R Booker serves as Professor of Pure Mathematics in the School of Mathematics at the University of Bristol. His research focuses on deep connections between analytic number theory, automorphic forms, and L-functions, with significant contributions to computational methods in algebraic number theory.

His educational background includes an M.Sc. from the University of Virginia and a Ph.D. from Princeton University. Key research interests span:

• Analytic properties of L-functions and modular forms
• Computational algebraic number theory
• Spectral theory of automorphic forms
• Diophantine approximation and equations

His recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on murmurations phenomena in modular forms, converse theorems for L-functions, and computational class group algorithms.

Booker's scientific recognition includes a Leadership Fellowship (2009-2015) supporting his work on explicit number theory. His grant portfolio features three major projects:

• Detecting squarefree numbers (2013-2015)
• L-functions and modular forms (2013-2019)
• Explicit number theory, automorphic forms and L-functions (2009-2015)

He has supervised 9 research students and maintains active international collaborations, including a 2012 visiting position at Kyoto University.
