Ralph Greenberg (born September 2, 1944 in Chester (Pennsylvania) ) is an American mathematician who deals with number theory of elliptic curves and algebraic number theory ( Iwasawa theory ).
Greenberg graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor's degree in 1966 and received his doctorate from Princeton University under Kenkichi Iwasawa in 1971 ( On some questions concerning the Iwasawa Invariants ). As a post-doctoral student , he was at the Institute for Advanced Study from 1972 to 1973 (and again in 1981).

Among other things, he was visiting scholar at various Paris universities, the University of Cambridge, the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics , the Isaac Newton Institute , the Tata Institute in Bombay, the Institut Henri Poincaré , the IHES , Tokyo and Strasbourg.
In 2010 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad ( Selmer Groups and Congruences ). He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
