Henri Rene Darmon (born 22 October 1965) is a French-Canadian mathematician. He is a number theorist who works on Hilbert's 12th problem[1] and its relation with the Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. He is currently a professor of mathematics at McGill University.

Awards
editDarmon was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 2003.[1] In 2008, he was awarded the Royal Society of Canada's John L. Synge Award.[4] He received the 2017 AMS Cole Prize in Number Theory "for his contributions to the arithmetic of elliptic curves and modular forms",[5] and the 2017 CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize,[6] which is awarded in recognition of exceptional research achievement in the mathematical sciences. He was elected as a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, in the 2025 class of fellows.[7]
