Henri Rene Darmon (born 22 October 1965) is a French-Canadian mathematician. He is a number theorist who works on Hilbert's 12th problem[1] and its relation with the Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. He is currently a James McGill Professor of Mathematics at McGill University.
Career
Darmon received his BSc from McGill University in 1987 and his PhD from Harvard University in 1991[1] under supervision of Benedict Gross.[2] From 1991 to 1996, he held positions in Princeton University.[3] Since 1994, he has been a professor at McGill University.[3]
Awards
Darmon was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 2003.[1] In 2008, he was awarded the Royal Society of Canada's John L. Synge Award.[4] He received the 2017 AMS Cole Prize in Number Theory "for his contributions to the arithmetic of elliptic curves and modular forms",[5] and the 2017 CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize,[6] which is awarded in recognition of exceptional research achievement in the mathematical sciences.
Personal life
Darmon is married to Galia Dafni, also a mathematician at Concordia University.[7]
