Steve Lester completed his PhD in 2013 under the guidance of Professor Steven Gonek at the University of Rochester. He joined King's College London in 2020 after holding several postdoctoral positions, including at Tel Aviv University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Additionally, he was a lecturer at Queen Mary University of London from 2017 to 2020. His research primarily focuses on analytical number theory, particularly L-functions and automorphic forms. He has explored the connections between number theory and quantum chaos. His recent research output includes contributions on Poisson spacing statistics, Gauss circle problem, and L-functions. Steve actively participates in the London-Paris number theory seminar, a bi-annual event that contributes to the ongoing dialogue in the field. His work is characterized by exploring fundamental questions of distribution in number theory, including the behavior of zeros of the Riemann zeta-function and divisor functions.
Requirements are consistent across King's Business School and Social Science & Public Policy departments for standard Master's entries.
