Don Blasius

Don Malcolm Blasius (born September 5, 1950 in Paterson (New Jersey) ) is an American mathematician.

Blasius studied at Harvard University with a bachelor's degree in 1972 and at Oxford University with a bachelor's degree in 1977. He received his doctorate in 1981 with Gorō Shimura at Princeton University (Arithmetic of Monomial Relations between the Periods of Abelian Varieties). 1981 to 1985 he was an assistant professor at Columbia University and 1985 to 1987 at Yale University . In 1987 he became Associate Professor at the City University of New York and in 1989 Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles .

He deals with number theory of automorphic forms, especially Shimura varieties.

In 1989 he was visiting professor at the École normal supérieure (Paris) , was at the Max Planck Institute in Bonn and at the Isaac Newton Institute .

He is editor of the Pacific Journal of Mathematics (2018). In 1981 and 1989/90 he was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study .
