Roman Holowinsky (born July 26, 1979) is an American mathematician known for his work innumber theory and, in particular, the theory ofmodular forms. He is currently an associate professor with tenure at theOhio State University.
Holowinsky was awarded theSASTRA Ramanujan Prize in 2011 for his contributions to "areas of mathematics influenced by the geniusSrinivasa Ramanujan",[1] for proving, withKannan Soundararajan, an important case of thequantum unique ergodicity (QUE) conjecture. In 2011, Holowinsky was also awarded aSloan Fellowship.[2]
Holowinsky received a Bachelors in Science Degree fromRutgers University in 2001. Afterwards, he continued his studies at Rutgers and received his PhD in 2006 under the direction ofHenryk Iwaniec.[3]
In 2017, he founded theErdős Institute, a multi-university collaboration focused on helping graduate students, postdocs, and graduate alumni find rewarding jobs in industry.
