Emmanuel Kowalski is a Professor of Mathematics at ETH Zurich , where he has been since 2008. Previously, he held professorships at Université Bordeaux I (2000–2007) and was a Veblen Research Instructor at Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study (1998–2000). His research focuses on analytic number theory, automorphic forms, and algebraic geometry. Education: École Normale Supérieure de Lyon (1989–1992); PhD in Mathematics from Rutgers University (1998). Research Interests include automorphic forms, L-functions, sieve methods, exponential sums, and probabilistic number theory. His work often bridges number theory with algebraic geometry and harmonic analysis. He has authored over 70 research papers and 6 books, including the influential Analytic Number Theory (2004) with Henryk Iwaniec. Scientific Awards and Invitations include the von Neumann Visiting Fellowship at IAS Princeton (2009), membership in the Board of the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (2016–present), and four invitations to lecture at the prestigious Bourbaki Seminar. He has also delivered key lectures at the Riemann International School of Mathematics and conferences honoring major mathematicians. Grants and Leadership He has organized numerous conferences and research programs, including the 2019 Arithmetic, geometry and modular forms conference at FIM and the 2022 goMath program on Women in Mathematics. He co-leads projects funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF), such as Trace functions and arithmetic Fourier transforms .
