About Ken Ono

Hailing from Towson, Maryland, I study mathematics, specializing in number theory. I am an Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Emory University. I am actively involved in the mentoring young mathematicians of all ages.

I spend much of my spare time outdoors and with my family. I enjoy surfing, SCUBA diving, cycling, running, and swimming. I am a member of the Timex-Trek Factory Triathlon Team, and I placed 28th for Team USA in the 2013 ITU World Cross Triathlon Championship (Men 45-49). In the 1980s I raced bicycles.

Research Interests

Combinatorics and Number Theory involving Elliptic curves,
L-functions, modular forms, Maass forms, and partitions.
