Abdellah Sebbar is a Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Ottawa. He holds a PhD from Stony Brook University (1993-1997) and prior degrees from Rabat and Strasbourg. His research focuses on number theory, algebraic geometry, and modular forms, with specialties in elliptic curves, moonshine theory, and quantum groups. He has authored over 40 publications, including works on Schwarzian equations and equivariant functions. His career includes roles as CRM-ISM Postdoctoral Fellow (1997-1999), CMS Instructor (1999-2001), and Associate Professor (2004-2013) before attaining his current rank. He advises graduate students and collaborates on projects involving modular subgroups and automorphic forms. Education: 1992: BSc in Pure Mathematics, Rabat 1992-1993: DEA (Master's), Strasbourg 1993-1997: PhD in Mathematics, Stony Brook (Fulbright Scholar) Research Interests: Modular forms and functions Elliptic curves and surfaces Discrete groups and moonshine Quantum groups and mathematical physics Schwarzian differential equations Professional Timeline: 2013–Present: Full Professor, UOttawa 2004–2013: Associate Professor, UOttawa 2001–2004: Assistant Professor, UOttawa His recent work emphasizes applications of Schwarzian equations to modular forms and automorphic differential equations. Collaborative efforts with Hicham Saber and others explore equivariant functions and vector-valued modular forms.
