Alina Carmen Cojocaru (Romanian pronunciation: [aˈlina ˈkarmen koʒoˈkaru]) is a Romanian mathematician who works in number theory and is known for her research on elliptic curves, arithmetic geometry, and sieve theory. She is a professor of mathematics at the University of Illinois at Chicago and a researcher in the Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy.[1]
Cojocaru earned her Ph.D. from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, in 2002. Her dissertation, Cyclicity of Elliptic Curves Modulo p, was jointly supervised by M. Ram Murty and Ernst Kani.[2]
Cojocaru was elected to be an American Mathematical Society (AMS) Council member at large from February 1, 2023, to January 31, 2024.[3]
Cojocaru is an author of the book
- An Introduction to Sieve Methods and their Applications (with M. Ram Murty, London Mathematical Society Student Texts 66, Cambridge University Press, 2006).[4]
She is also an editor of
- Women in Numbers: Research Directions in Number Theory (with Kristin Lauter, Rachel Justine Pries, and Renate Scheidler, Fields Institute Communications 60, American Mathematical Society, 2011).
- Scholar: A Scientific Celebration Highlighting Open Lines of Arithmetic Research: Conference in Honour of M. Ram Murty's Mathematical Legacy on His 60th Birthday (with C. David and F. Pappalardi, Contemporary Mathematics 655, American Mathematical Society, 2016)
