Arul Shankar is an Indian mathematician at the University of Toronto specialising in number theory; more specifically, arithmetic statistics. He obtained his PhD from Princeton University in 2012 under Manjul Bhargava.[1] Shankar is known for his work, with Manjul Bhargava, establishing unconditionally that the average rank of elliptic curves is bounded when ordered by naive height by in [2] and [3] respectively.

In 2018 he was awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship,[4] one of the most prestigious early career research fellowships available to mathematicians.[5]
