Habiba Kadiri
About me:
I am an Associate Professor in mathematics at the University of Lethbridge.
My research lies in analytic number theory: I investigate questions about zeros of L-functions and about prime numbers using a combination of analytical and computational methods. I gratefully acknowledge that my research projects and HQP are being supported by NSERC grants.
I co-lead the PIMS Collaborative Research Group L-functions in Analytic Number Theory (award 2022-2025).
I am an advocate for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in STEM (2023 SNAC award). I have served as my department's Associate Chair as well as in various committees at the university and national level.
I am a member of the PIMS Board of Directors.

About me
I left native France to start my Canadian life in Montréal. I now live in Lethbridge, Southern Alberta, with my husband, two children, and now our “Covid” cat. Outside the office, I can be found at a cafe behind my laptop, wandering trails in the nearby Rockies, or roaming cities to enjoy food and art in all their various forms, and most preferably in company of my favorite people.

Our University’s Blackfoot name is Iniskim, meaning Sacred Buffalo Stone. The University is located in traditional Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy) territory. We honour the Blackfoot people and their traditional ways of knowing in caring for this land, as well as all Aboriginal peoples who have helped shape and continue to strengthen our University community.
