Biography

Filip Najman was born on August 18, 1984, in Zagreb. He graduated from the Department of Mathematics at the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, in 2007 with a thesis titled “Representation of Prime Numbers by Quadratic Forms,” and earned his PhD from the Department of Mathematics at the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, in 2010 with a dissertation titled “Compact Representation of Quadratic Algebraic Numbers and Integral Points on Elliptic Curves” under the supervision of Academician Andrej Dujella.

Since 2007, he has been employed at the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, initially as a teaching and research assistant. He was promoted to Assistant Professor in 2011, Associate Professor in 2016, Full Professor in 2021, and Full Professor with Tenure in 2026.

His scientific fields of interest are number theory and arithmetic geometry, specifically modular curves and Galois representations associated with elliptic curves. He was a postdoctoral researcher during the 2010/2011 academic year at Leiden University in the Netherlands. As a recipient of the Fulbright Visiting Scholar fellowship for the 2014/2015 academic year, he conducted research at MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA. He also completed shorter research visits of 1–2 months at the Institut Henri Poincaré and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn.

He is the recipient of the Faculty of Science Award of the Faculty of Science (2025), the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts (HAZU) Award for the Highest Scientific and Artistic Achievements in the Republic of Croatia (2024), the Annual State Science Award (2020), the Annual Award for Young Scientists and Artists from the Society of University Teachers and Other Scientists (2018), and the State Science Award for Junior Researchers (2010).
