Zeev Rudnick

Zeev Rudnick is a Professor of Mathematics at Tel Aviv University, holding the Cissie and Aaron Beare Chair in Number Theory since 2012. He is affiliated with the School of Mathematical Sciences and the Department of Theoretical Mathematics.

Education:

• Ph.D., Yale University, 1990
• M.Sc. summa cum laude, The Hebrew University, 1985
• B.Sc. summa cum laude, Bar-Ilan University, 1984

Research Interests: Professor Rudnick's work focuses on the interface of Number Theory and Mathematical Physics, particularly Quantum Chaos. His research includes eigenvalue distribution, zeros of L-functions, quantum unique ergodicity, arithmetic problems in function fields, lattice point counting, and spectral statistics. Recent publications explore zeros of modular forms, quantum models, sparse exponential sums, and spectral properties of geometric domains.
