Samit Dasgupta is the James B. Duke Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at Duke University, where he focuses on algebraic number theory, particularly explicit constructions of units in number fields and points on abelian varieties. His research addresses classical conjectures, including the relationships between elements and special values of L-functions, along with conjectures such as those by Stark and Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer. Over the years, he has contributed significantly to the theory and its generalizations, leading to notable progress on these conjectures. In addition to his work on Brumer-Stark units, he has published extensively on equality formulas in the context of L-functions and their applications in number theory. Dasgupta has held his current academic positions since 2018 and has received several grants from the National Science Foundation to further his research in number theory, focusing on L-functions and their properties.
