Adrian Ioviță (born 28 June 1954)[1] is a Romanian-Canadian mathematician, specializing in arithmetic algebraic geometry and p-adic cohomology theories.
Born in Timișoara, Romania, Iovita received in 1978 his undergraduate degree in mathematics from the University of Bucharest.[2] He worked as a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy, obtaining a Ph.D. degree in 1991 from the University of Bucharest with thesis On local classfield theory written under the direction of Nicolae Popescu. He received in 1996 a doctorate in mathematics from Boston University. His doctoral thesis there was supervised by Glenn H. Stevens; the thesis title is p-adic Cohomology of Abelian Varieties.
As a postdoc from 1996 to 1998 in Montreal he was at McGill University and Concordia University. From 1998 to 2003 he was an assistant professor at the University of Washington. Since 2003 he is a full professor at Concordia University.[2] He has held permanent positions at the University of Padua,[3] and also in Paris, Münster, Jerusalem, and Nottingham.
In 2008 Iovita received the Ribenboim Prize. In 2018 he was an invited speaker, with Vincent Pilloni and Fabrizio Andreatta, with talk p-adic variation of automorphic sheaves (given by Pilloni) at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Rio de Janeiro.[4]
