Holowinsky was awarded the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize in 2011 for his contributions to "areas of mathematics influenced by the genius Srinivasa Ramanujan",[1] for proving, with Kannan Soundararajan, an important case of the quantum unique ergodicity (QUE) conjecture. In 2011, Holowinsky was also awarded a Sloan Fellowship.[2]
Holowinsky received a Bachelors in Science Degree from Rutgers University in 2001. Afterwards, he continued his studies at Rutgers and received his PhD in 2006 under the direction of Henryk Iwaniec.[3]
In 2017, he founded the Erdős Institute, a multi-university collaboration focused on helping graduate students, postdocs, and graduate alumni find rewarding jobs in industry.
