Timothy Huber

Timothy Huber is a Professor and Director of the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV). He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2007), an M.S. in Pure Mathematics from Northern Illinois University (2000), and a B.S. in Computational Mathematics from the same university (1999). His research focuses on Analytic Number Theory, Special Functions, Combinatorics, Elliptic Functions, q-series, Modular Forms, and Continued Fractions.

His work includes groundbreaking contributions to the study of Ramanujan-type congruences, modular forms, and elliptic functions. He has secured over $3 million in grants, leading initiatives to enhance student success and diversify STEM graduate programs. Notable awards include the UT System’s Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Award (2016) and the UTRGV Department Excellence in Faculty Mentoring (2019).

Huber’s 15 most recent articles (2024-2014) explore topics like Ramanujan-Sato series, lacunary eta quotients, and applications of modular forms. His research trends emphasize computational approaches to classical number theory problems and interdisciplinary collaborations bridging education and epidemiology.

He has advised numerous students, including doctoral candidates and master’s researchers, and co-authored influential books such as Srinivasa Ramanujan: His Life, Legacy, and Mathematical Influence. His leadership roles include directing UTRGV’s first Ph.D. program in the College of Sciences and pioneering accelerated BS/MS pathways. He actively promotes inclusive STEM education through grants and outreach programs.
