Shai Evra is a mathematician at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem specialising in representation theory. He was awarded the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize in 2020. He researches symmetric spaces of arithmetic groups.

According to the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize citation, Shai Evra was selected for the prize for his outstanding work on ". . . high dimensional expanders in the area of combinatorial and geometric topology and on Golden Gates for three dimensional unitary groups. He employed deep results from representation theory and number theory, pertaining to the Generalised Ramanujan Conjectures. The prize recognises his fundamental paper in the Journal of Topology and Analysis, in which he extends both the combinatorics and automorphic form theory to generalise the construction of Mikhail Gromov and others on expander graphs.
