Samit Dasgupta is a professor of mathematics at Duke University working in algebraic number theory.

Biography

Dasgupta graduated from Montgomery Blair High School in 1995 and placed fourth in the 1995 Westinghouse Science Talent Search with a project on Schinzel's hypothesis H. He then attended Harvard University, where he received a bachelor's degree in 1999.[1] [2] In 2004, Dasgupta received a PhD in mathematics from University of California, Berkeley under the supervision of Ken Ribet and Henri Darmon.

Dasgupta was previously a faculty member at University of California, Santa Cruz.[1] As of 2020, he is a professor of mathematics at Duke University.[2] [3]

Research

Dasgupta's research is focused on special values of L-functions, algebraic points on abelian varieties, and units in number fields. In particular, Dasgupta's research has focused on the Stark conjectures and Heegner points.[4] [5] [6]

Awards

In 2009, Dasgupta received a Sloan Research Fellowship.[7] He was named a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, in the 2022 class of fellows, "for contributions to number theory, in particular the theory of special values of classical and p-adic L-functions".[8]
