Jonathan Pila

Jonathan Pila is a Reader in Mathematical Logic at the University of Oxford's Mathematical Institute, with a focus on model theory and number theory. He is affiliated with the Mathematical Logic and Number Theory research groups.

• BScHons (University of Melbourne, 1984)
• PhD (Stanford University, 1988)

His research explores intersections of mathematical logic with number theory, particularly via o-minimality, addressing problems like the Andre-Oort conjecture, Zilber-Pink conjecture, and Ax-Schanuel theorems in algebraic and Diophantine geometry.

Recent work includes advancements on functional transcendence, canonical heights in Shimura varieties, and uniform parameterization techniques with applications to Diophantine problems.
