Jacob Tsimerman

Jacob Tsimerman (born 1988) is a Canadian mathematician at the University of Toronto specialising in number theory and related areas. He obtained his PhD degree from Princeton University in 2011 under the guidance of Peter Clive Sarnak.[1] He was awarded the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize in the year 2015 in recognition for his work on the André–Oort conjecture and for his work in both analytic number theory and algebraic geometry.[2]

Career

Jacob Tsimerman was born in Kazan, Russia, on April 26, 1988. In 1990 his family first moved to Israel and then in 1996 to Canada. In 2003 and 2004 he represented Canada in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) and won gold medals both years, with a perfect score in 2004.[3]

Following his PhD, he had a post-doctoral position at Harvard University as a Junior Fellow of the Harvard Society of Fellows. In July 2014 he was awarded a Sloan Fellowship and he started his term as assistant professor at the University of Toronto. As of 2019, he is an associate professor.[4] He was awarded the 2016 SASTRA Ramanujan Prize.[5]

Tsimerman has worked at Radix Trading LLC developing quantitative trading models [6]

Research

Together with Jonathan Pila, Tsimerman demonstrated the André–Oort conjecture for Siegel modular varieties. Later, he completed the proof of the full André-Oort conjecture for all moduli spaces of abelian varieties by reducing the problem to the averaged Colmez conjecture which was proved by Xinyi Yuan and Shou-Wu Zhang as well as independently by Andreatta, Goren, Howard and Madapusi-Pera.[7]
