Benjamin Howard

Benjamin Howard is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Boston College. His research centers on number theory, automorphic forms, and arithmetic geometry.

Key research areas include:

• Arithmetic aspects of Shimura varieties
• Intersection theory on moduli spaces
• Special cycles and derivatives of L-functions
• Iwasawa theory and p-adic L-functions

Howard earned his PhD from Stanford University and BA from the University of Chicago. His recent work investigates intersection formulas on unitary shtuka moduli spaces and arithmetic volumes of Shimura varieties.
