Steven Zucker

Steven Mark Zucker is an American mathematician who introduced the Zucker conjecture.
His work with David A. Cox led to an algorithm for determining if a given set of sections provides a basis (up to torsion) for the Mordell–Weil group of an elliptic surface E → S where S is isomorphic to the projective line.
He is currently part of the mathematics faculty at the Johns Hopkins University. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
