Sadleirian Professor of Pure Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, UK
Since 1986, Prof. Coates has worked in the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics (DPMMS) of the University of Cambridge. In the last ten years he has focused on the study of various aspects of non-commutative Iwasawa theory, including the study of the arithmetic of elliptic curves in nonabelian infinite extensions. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1985, and was President of the London Mathematical Society from 1988 to 1990. The LMS awarded him the Senior Whitehead Prize in 1997.
