Prof. Granville has played a significant leadership role in Canadian mathematics since obtaining his PhD from Queens University in 1987. In 2002, he joined the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the Université de Montréal as a senior Canada Research Chair.

The list of graduate students and postdocs he has trained reads like a who’s who amongst the younger generation of stellar analytic number theorists, including several prominent female mathematicians.
