Jared Duker Lichtman

Jared Duker Lichtman is a Szegö Assistant Professor at Stanford University's Department of Mathematics, beginning in the 2024-25 academic year. Previously, he served as an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford under Prof. Kannan Soundararajan. He completed his PhD at the University of Oxford in 2023, focusing on multiplicative number theory.

His research centers on prime number distribution, multiplicative structures, and analytic number theory. Notably, he established a world record in studying primes' distribution within arithmetic progressions. His work bridges classical number theory with modern techniques like sieve methods and L-function analysis.

Jared's publications explore topics such as the abc conjecture, twin primes, and Erdős problems. While no formal awards are listed, his groundbreaking contributions to prime distribution and multiplicative number theory mark him as a rising star in the field.

His academic trajectory includes a focus on primes in arithmetic progressions, Goldbach conjecture extensions, and probabilistic number theory applications. Ongoing research likely continues this trajectory, with potential implications for cryptography and additive number theory.
