Andrew Victor Sutherland is an American mathematician and Principal Research Scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

[1] Following an entrepreneurial career in the software industry he returned to MIT and completed his doctoral degree in mathematics in 2007 under the supervision of Michael Sipser and Ronald Rivest, winning the George M. Sprowls prize for his thesis.

It is conjectured that these distributions can be described by random matrix models using a "Sato-Tate group" associated to the curve by a construction of Serre.

[34][35] In 2012 Francesc Fite, Kiran Kedlaya, Victor Rotger and Sutherland classified the Sato-Tate groups that arise for genus 2 curves and abelian varieties of dimension 2,[14] and in 2019 Fite, Kedlaya, and Sutherland announced a similar classification to abelian varieties of dimension 3.

[39][40][41] Sutherland was named to the 2021 class of fellows of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to number theory, both on the theoretical and computational aspects of the subject".
