Nicholas Ramsey

Nicholas Ramsey serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences within DePaul University's College of Science and Health, holding a full-time faculty position with primary expertise in number theory and its interdisciplinary applications.

His academic foundation includes a BA from the University of Chicago (2000) and a PhD from Harvard University (2004). Prior to joining DePaul, he completed a five-year postdoctoral appointment at the University of Michigan (2004-2009) as a Postdoctoral Assistant Professor, during which he received partial support through an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship.

Dr. Ramsey's research centers on advanced number theory, with particular emphasis on p-adic properties of modular forms and half-integral weight modular forms. His work extends into algebraic number theory through investigations of Euclidean rings and ideals, consistently bridging abstract algebraic structures with geometric interpretations. The mathematical depth of his contributions involves sophisticated techniques in p-adic analysis, automorphic forms, and arithmetic geometry, revealing profound connections between seemingly disparate subfields.

His publication trajectory demonstrates an evolving research program that progressed from foundational geometric-p-adic modular form studies (2006) to specialized lifting theorems (2009), then expanded into algebraic number theory applications (2011) before culminating in combinatorial number theory through partition function analysis (2012). This progression highlights his ability to connect modular form theory with diverse mathematical domains including Diophantine equations and combinatorial asymptotics.

His scholarly recognition includes:

• NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship

His work appears in premier mathematics journals such as Annales de l'Institut Fourier, International Mathematical Research Notices, Journal of the Ramanujan Mathematical Society, and Advances in Mathematics.

Collaborative research with H. Graves, A. Folsom, Z. Kent, and K. Ono demonstrates active engagement with the international mathematics community. While specific current grant funding details aren't provided in the source material, his sustained publication record in high-impact journals indicates consistent research support. His academic trajectory from NSF fellowship recipient to tenured associate professor reflects strong research productivity and scholarly impact within number theory.
