Wissam Raji

Wissam Raji (born March 18, 1977) is a Lebanese mathematician specialized in the theory of modular forms. Born and raised in Lebanon, he attended American University of Beirut as a graduate student, and earned a Ph.D. degree in Mathematics from Temple University,^[1] Philadelphia in 2006. He spent two years as a postdoctoral lecturer at Temple University in USA.

Raji currently works at the American University of Beirut. His research interest is in the theory of modular forms. Raji has more than 20 published papers and an open source textbook on number theory that received the Open Textbook Challenge Award by Saylor Foundation.^[2]
