John Voight is a Professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sydney, where he is also a member of the Algebra and Computational Algebra groups. His research focuses on arithmetic algebraic geometry, modular forms, and computational number theory. He collaborates with the Magma computational algebra system development team and contributes to databases like the LMFDB. Affiliations: University of Sydney (2024–present), Dartmouth College (2007–2024), University of Vermont (2007–2013). Key research interests include modular curves, Shimura varieties, elliptic curves, and abelian varieties. He explores algorithmic methods for computing with algebraic structures, such as quaternion algebras and ideal class groups. Publications span over 90 articles, including works on Hilbert modular forms, Belyi maps, and paramodular varieties. Notable achievements include the Selfridge Prize (2010 and 2018) and Simons Foundation grants. He advises numerous PhD students and has contributed to major projects like the LMFDB, advancing computational tools for number theory.
