Alexander Borisov

Alexander Borisov is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Binghamton University (since 2014), specializing in Algebraic Geometry, Number Theory, and Discrete Geometry. He holds a Ph.D. from Pennsylvania State University (1996). His research focuses on intersections of algebraic geometry with number theory, including topics like toric varieties, polynomial maps, and arithmetic dynamics. Borisov has advised multiple Ph.D. students, including Sayak Sengupta (2024), Pat Carney (2023), and Changwei Zhou (2019).

He organizes the Upstate New York Online Number Theory Colloquium and contributes to academic leadership through roles like seminar coordination. His teaching includes advanced courses like Honors Calculus (Math 230) and Arithmetic Seminar (Math 562). Research outputs span over 30 publications, with recent work emphasizing polynomial dynamics and geometric structures. Borisov maintains active collaborations, reflected in joint papers with mathematicians like Valery Alexeev and Mikhail Sapir.
