A.C. Cojocaru is a mathematician whose research lies in the field of number theory.
She obtained her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in mathematics (with a focus in algebra and number theory) from the University of Bucharest in Romania. Her PhD work was completed under the guidance of Prof. E. Kani and Prof. M.R. Murty at Queen's University in Canada. Her PhD thesis, written under the supervision of Prof. M.R. Murty, is entitled Cyclicity of elliptic curves modulo p.
Cojocaru has held academic positions at the University of Bucharest and the Polytechnic University of Bucharest in Romania, and at Princeton University in the USA. She has held research positions at the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques in Montréal and the Fields Institute in Toronto (Canada); Microsoft Research in Redmond and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley (USA); and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn (Germany). Currently, she is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Illinois at Chicago (USA) and a Principal Researcher at the Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy (Romania). Cojocaru is the (co) author of several research papers in number theory and of a monograph (with M.R. Murty) on sieve methods, a special topic in analytic number theory. For her research in mathematics, she has been awarded the Doctoral Prize by the Canadian Mathematical Society (2003), the Gheorghe Titeica Prize by the Romanian Academy (2007), the Career Award by the (American) National Science Foundation (2008), as well as other research grants and fellowships. A citizen of Canada and Romania, Cojocaru currently resides in the beautiful city of Chicago in the USA. |
