Amir Akbary-Majdabadno is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Lethbridge, where he maintains an active research program in number theory. His office is located in room C564 with contact number (403) 329-2513. His educational background includes a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Toronto (1997) with thesis "Non-vanishing of modular L-functions with large level" under V. K. Murty, and an M.Sc. from the University of Tehran (1991) with thesis "Algebraic curves and Luroth semi-group" under R. Zaare-Nahandi. Professor Akbary's research focuses on advanced topics in number theory, particularly L-functions , analytic problems for elliptic curves , and polynomials over finite fields . His work often explores the intersection of analytic methods with algebraic structures, examining properties like value distribution, moments, and special values of L-functions. He has made significant contributions to understanding the behavior of modular forms, Galois representations, and arithmetic properties of number fields. His recent publication record shows remarkable productivity, with multiple articles published in top-tier journals like Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society and Journal of Number Theory. The research trends in his 15 most recent papers reveal a consistent focus on L-functions (appearing in 12 papers), elliptic curve theory (9 papers), and finite field structures (7 papers), with increasing attention to value distribution phenomena and connections to probability theory in number theory. Professor Akbary has served as editor for significant academic volumes including the Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics (Volume 251, 2018) and a special issue of the Bulletin of the Iranian Mathematical Society honoring Professor Freydoon Shahidi. He has delivered numerous research talks globally, with recent presentations covering topics like Galois number fields, sums of triangular numbers, and Euler-Kronecker constants. His academic service includes organizing the WAMS Research School in "Topics in Analytic and Transcendental Number Theory" in Zanjan, Iran (2017) and delivering lecture notes on classical analytic theory of L-functions at IPM, Tehran (2006). His research continues to advance fundamental questions in analytic number theory with applications across multiple mathematical disciplines.
