Professor Minhyong Kim
 |
Christopher Zeeman Professor of Algebra, Geometry, and Public Understanding of Mathematics |
Biography: Minhyong Kim received his bachelor's degree at Seoul National University and his Ph.D. at Yale University before moving on to faculty positions at M.I.T., Columbia University, University of Arizona, Purdue University, the Korea Institute for Advanced Study, and University College London. Most recently before moving to Warwick, he was Research Professor of Number Theory at the University of Oxford and head of their number theory research group. He has also held visiting professorships at numerous institutions including the University of Paris, University of Kyoto, Seoul National University, and the University of Toronto. In addition to papers on arithmetic geometry and its ramifications, he has published five books on mathematics for the general public.
