Rate My Professor Jori Merikoski

Merikoski's research interests include prime numbers, sieve methods, and the spectral theory of automorphic forms. He has published numerous papers in prestigious journals, including 'Siegel Zeros, Twin Primes, Goldbach's Conjecture, and Primes in Short Intervals' with Kaisa Matomäki (International Mathematics Research Notices, 2023), 'The polynomials X² + (Y² + 1)² and X² + (Y³ + 1)² represent infinitely many primes' (Journal of the London Mathematical Society, 2023), 'A cubic analogue of the Friedlander–Iwaniec prime theorem' (Mathematische Zeitschrift, 2022), 'Limit points of normalized prime gaps' (Journal of the London Mathematical Society, 2020), 'On the largest square divisor of shifted primes' (Acta Arithmetica, 2020), and 'Large prime factors on short intervals' (Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2019). Additional works include collaborations such as 'Vector-Valued Local Approximation Spaces' with Tuomas Hytonen (Journal of Fourier Analysis and Applications, 2019), 'The divisor function along arithmetic progressions and binary cubic polynomials' with Lasse Grimmelt (2025), and 'On the greatest prime factor and uniform equidistribution of quadratic polynomials' with Lasse Grimmelt (2025). At Helsinki, he teaches advanced courses like Modular Forms and supervises doctoral researchers in number theory. His work advances understanding of prime distributions and related problems in analytic number theory.
