Adebisi Agboola is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), affiliated with the Department of Mathematics in the College of Letters and Science. His research focuses on Number Theory, Arithmetic Algebraic Geometry, and Iwasawa Theory. He has held academic positions at UCSB since 1995, including roles as Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor. Agboola has been a visiting scholar at institutions such as Harvard University, Humboldt University, and the Institute for Advanced Study. Education: Ph.D. in Mathematics, Columbia University (1991) M.A. in Mathematics, Columbia University (1988) B.A. (Hons.) and Certificate of Advanced Study in Mathematics, University of Cambridge (1985–1986) Research Interests: Agboola’s work spans Number Theory , Arithmetic Algebraic Geometry , and Iwasawa Theory . He investigates topics such as Galois module structure, elliptic curves, p-adic L-functions, and the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. His contributions include foundational studies on class invariants, arithmetic class groups, and algebraic K-theory. Key Articles: His recent research emphasizes Anticyclotomic Iwasawa theory , Galois module structure of rings of integers , and p-adic variants of the BSD conjecture . These studies bridge algebraic number theory and geometric approaches to arithmetic problems. Awards and Grants: NSF Grants (1997–2021) for projects on Galois theory and arithmetic geometry NSA Standard Grants (2008–2013) for research on Iwasawa theory and Galois modules NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Fellowship (1991–1994) Advising and Service: Supervised postdoctoral scholars and graduate students in algebraic number theory and arithmetic geometry Served on committees such as the UCSB Committee on Privilege and Tenure and the MSRI External Review Committee Co-organized the Arithmetic and Geometry Seminar at UCSB Labs/Teams: Agboola collaborates extensively with researchers in arithmetic geometry and Iwasawa theory, contributing to interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of algebra, geometry, and number theory.
