Steve Gonek

Steve Gonek is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Rochester's School of Arts & Sciences. He received his PhD from the University of Michigan in 1979 and specializes in analytic number theory, particularly the Riemann zeta-function, L-functions, and prime number distribution.

His research examines moments of zeta and L-functions, zero distribution properties, and connections between analytic behavior and arithmetic problems. He has held visiting positions at Macquarie University, the American Institute of Mathematics, and the Newton Institute.

Analysis of recent publications shows sustained focus on distribution properties of zeta zeros, equivalence relationships between major number theory conjectures, and explicit formulas for L-functions. His work consistently advances analytic methods in number theory.
