Nina Snaith
Nina Claire Snaith is a British mathematician at the University of Bristol working in random matrix theory and quantum chaos. EducationSnaith was educated at the University of Bristol where she received her PhD in 2000[2] for research supervised by Jonathan Keating.[1] Career and researchIn 1998, Snaith and her then adviser Jonathan Keating conjectured a value for the leading coefficient of the asymptotics of the moments of the Riemann zeta function. Keating and Snaith's guessed value for the constant was based on random-matrix theory, following a trend that started with Montgomery's pair correlation conjecture. Keating's and Snaith's work extended works[3] by Brian Conrey, Ghosh, and Gonek, also conjectural, based on number theoretic heuristics; Conrey, Farmer, Keating, Rubinstein, and Snaith later conjectured the lower terms in the asymptotics of the moments.[4] Snaith's work appeared in her doctoral thesis Random Matrix Theory and zeta functions.[1] Snaith is currently Professor of Mathematical Physics at the University of Bristol.[5][6] Awards and honoursIn 2008, Snaith was awarded the London Mathematical Society's Whitehead Prize. In 2014, she delivered the annual Hanna Neumann Lecture to honour the achievements of women in mathematics.[7] Personal lifeSnaith is the daughter of mathematician Victor Snaith and sister of mathematician and musician Dan Snaith, mostly known by his artistic names Manitoba, Caribou, and Daphni.[8] References
