Calgary Number Theory Research Group
The Calgary Number Theory Group is comprised of researchers in mathematics and computer science who support a sizable team of postdocs, graduate students and undergraduates. We welcome applications from strong prospective graduate students.

Our research interests are diverse and include algebraic number theory, algorithmic and computational number theory, arithmetic dynamics, arithmetic geometry, and cryptography.
We meet once a week for number nosh where we bring and eat our lunch, talk about math and other things, and have informal presentations. We host and participate in a variety of seminar series and collaborative research initiatives, including the Calgary Algebra & Number Theory Seminar. Several team members are actively involved in or affiliated with the Institute for Security, Privacy and Information Assurance (ISPIA). Every year, we gather with our fellow number theorists from all across the region for the Alberta Number Theory Days, held annually on a spring weekend at the Banff International Research Station (BIRS).
- Mark Bauer, algebraic and computational number theory, diophantine equations, cryptography
- Mike Jacobson (Computer Science), computational number theory, cryptography
- Khoa Nguyen, arithmetic dynamics, diophantine geometry
- Renate Scheidler, algorithmic number theory, cryptography
