Étienne Fouvry (pronounced as /fr/, born 1953[1]) is a French mathematician working primarily in analytic number theory.
Fouvry defended his dissertation in 1981 at the University of Bordeaux under the joint direction of Henryk Iwaniec and Jean-Marc Deshouillers. He is an emeritus professor at Paris-Saclay University and the 2021 recipient of the Sophie Germain Prize.[2]
