Career

Specialising in number theory, Murty is a researcher in the areas of modular forms, elliptic curves, and sieve theory. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1990, was elected to the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) in 2008, and has won numerous prestigious awards in mathematics, including the Coxeter–James Prize. A highly learned Hindu scholar, Murty is also cross-appointed as a professor of philosophy at Queen's, specialising in Indian philosophy.

Murty graduated with a B.Sc. from Carleton University in 1976. He received his Ph.D. in 1980 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, supervised by Harold Stark. He was on the faculty of McGill University from 1982 until 1996, when he joined Queen's.

Murty has Erdős number 1, and has collaborated with dozens of other researchers, including frequent joint work with his brother, V. Kumar Murty. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
