Adrian Banner was born in Sydney, Australia in 1975. After completing his undergraduate studies at the University of New South Wales, he entered the graduate program in mathematics at Princeton University, working on harmonic analysis under the supervision of Eli Stein. He received his Ph.D. in 2002 and since then has worked as a part-time Lecturer in the Princeton Mathematics Department.

Banner also works as Director of Research at Enhanced Investment Technologies (INTECH), an institutional equity manager specializing in mathematical investment strategies. This position allows him considerable latitude to undertake theoretical mathematical research; as a result, he has transferred his interest within the field of analysis from singular integrals to stochastic processes.

While he was a graduate student, Adrian developed a program of weekly review sessions in freshman-level calculus courses at Princeton. These sessions have led to the creation of a calculus review manual, which he hopes to complete this year.

Banner is also an accomplished pianist and composer. He began piano studies at the age of three and has been playing and composing in classical, jazz and folk styles ever since. He has been involved in the Princeton University Jazz Ensemble for the past six years and is a founding member of renowned klezmer band The Klez Dispensers, performing regularly in New York, Philadelphia and New Jersey.
