He has been a faculty member at the Université de Montréal since 2002. Before moving to Montreal he was a mathematics professor at University of Georgia (UGA) from 1991 until 2002. He was a section speaker in the 1994 International Congress of Mathematicians together with Dr. Carl Pomerance from UGA. Granville received his Bachelor of Arts (Honours) (1983) and his Certificate of Advanced Studies (Distinction) (1984) from Trinity College, Cambridge University. He received his Ph.D. from Queen's University in 1987 and was inducted into the Royal Society of Canada in 2006. Granville's work is mainly in number theory, in particular analytic number theory. Along with Carl Pomerance and W. R. (Red) Alford he proved the infiniteness of Carmichael numbers in 1994. It was published in Annals Math. 140 (1994), 703–722 with the title "There are infinitely many Carmichael numbers". This proof was based on a conjecture given by Paul Erdős.

These maps are as old as five hundred years, and it is easy to see how they have been damaged over time. The maps were scanned in small sections to achieve maximum resolution. NUAMPS then digitally "stitched" these image pieces back together into full maps as large as 3 gigabytes in file size. The result is a resource for professors and researchers to view the maps at larger than actual size, without damaging them. The zoom-able image viewer was developed by Academic Technologies. http://nuamps.at.northwestern.edu/screenroom/content/media/photo/africana-maps NUAMPS Africana Maps This collection of images represents an extremely high-resolution digital archive of maps of Africa held by Northwestern University.

The latest addition to the studio is the Betterlight Super 8K-HS digital camera back, a 4 x 5 scanning back capable of an 8000 x 10600 pixel grab at native CCD resolution and a 12,000 x 15,990 pixel grab with Enhanced Resolution™. In the past, due to the constraints of acquisition equipment, NUAMPS employees were often required to hand assemble multiple captures of photographed items in order to achieve the extremely high resolution imagery needed for academic and scholarly investigation. With the Betterlight, however, the majority of objects can be photographed in single captures meaning that the final product is truer to its physical antecedent, and oversized or delicate volumes and objects require less handling. http://nuamps.at.northwestern.edu/screenroom/content/features/2007/better-digitization-with-betterlight/better-digitization-with-betterlight NUAMPS Better Digitization with Betterlight FEATURED PROJECT: For the last year NUAMPS has utilized its Hi-Resolution Digitization Studio to bring professional digitization services to the Northwestern community.
