Roger Evans Howe

Roger Evans Howe (* May 23, 1945 in Chicago ) is an American mathematician.

Howe studied at Harvard University ( Bachelor's degree 1966) and in 1969 at Calvin Moore at Yale University doctorate (On representations of nilpotent groups). From 1969 he was assistant professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and in 1975 he was a professor at Yale University. 1971/72 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study and in 1973/74 visiting scientists in Bonn. He also has been a visiting professor and visiting scholar at the University of Tel Aviv, in Oxford, at the Ecole Normale des Jeunes Filles in Paris, at the Hebrew University, the University of California, San Diego, the National University of Singapore, in Japan, at Rutgers University, the University of Paris VII and in Hong Kong.

It deals with representation theory, automorphic forms, and harmonic analysis.

In 1984 he was awarded the Lester Randolph Ford Award .. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences (1994 ) and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2006 he received the Distinguished Public Service Award from the AMS for his involvement in mathematics education. 1984/85 he was a Guggenheim Fellow. In 1964 he won the William Lowell Putnam competition as a student.
