Biography
editDasgupta 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.[1] 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.[3]
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][4]
Research
editDasgupta's research is focused on special values of L-functions, algebraic points on abelian varieties, and units in number fields.[5] In particular, Dasgupta's research has focused on the Stark conjectures and Heegner points.[3][6][7][8]
Awards
editIn 2009, Dasgupta received a Sloan Research Fellowship.[5] 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".[9]
