Biography
M. Ram Murty is the brother of mathematician V. Kumar Murty.[3]
Murty graduated with a B.Sc. from Carleton University in 1976.[4] He received his Ph.D. in 1980 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, supervised by Harold Stark and Dorian Goldfeld.[5] He was on the faculty of McGill University from 1982 until 1996, when he joined Queen's University. Murty is also cross-appointed as a professor of philosophy at Queen's, specialising in Indian philosophy.[6]
Research
Specializing in number theory, Murty is a researcher in the areas of modular forms, elliptic curves, and sieve theory.
Murty has Erdős number 1 and frequently collaborates with his brother, V. Kumar Murty.
Awards
Murty received the Coxeter–James Prize in 1988.[7] He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1990,[8] was elected to the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) in 2008,[9] and became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2012.[10]
