John Voight is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Sydney, affiliated with the School of Mathematics and Statistics. He holds a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley (2005) and has held academic positions at the University of Sydney, University of Minnesota, University of Vermont, and Dartmouth College. His research focuses on arithmetic algebraic geometry, number theory, and computational aspects of these fields, including modular forms, elliptic curves, and quaternion algebras.
Education: Ph.D. in Mathematics, UC Berkeley (2005); earlier studies include a focus on classical piano and liberal arts at Gonzaga University. Professional trajectory includes postdoctoral roles at the University of Sydney and University of Minnesota, followed by faculty appointments at the University of Vermont (2006–2013) and Dartmouth College (2013–present).
Research Interests:
- Arithmetic algebraic geometry: modular curves, Shimura varieties, moduli spaces, and algorithmic methods
- Number theory: algebraic number theory, quadratic forms, cryptography, and coding theory
- Computational mathematics: modular forms, quaternion algebras, and database construction (e.g., LMFDB)
Publications and Recognition: Over 90 peer-reviewed articles, including contributions to Contemp. Math., Math. Comp., and Res. Number Theory. Recipient of the Selfridge Prize in Number Theory and recognized for teaching excellence at Dartmouth. Leads projects on Hilbert modular forms and paramodular abelian surfaces.
Teaching and Mentorship: Emphasizes student-centered learning and the integration of liberal arts with STEM. Advises students on topics ranging from elliptic curves to cryptography. Active in curriculum design and promoting computational tools in mathematics education.
Labs/Teams: Collaborates with the L-Functions and Modular Forms Database (LMFDB) project, contributing to computational frameworks for algebraic geometry and number theory.
