Life

Kai-Wen Lan studied at the National University of Taiwan with a bachelor's degree in 1999 and received his PhD (Arithmetic Compactifications of PEL-type Shimura Varieties) from Harvard University , where he has been since 2003, with Richard Taylor in 2008 . He taught as a Veblen Instructor at Princeton University from 2008 to 2012 and was also at the Institute for Advanced Study . In 2012 he became an Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota .

In his dissertation, which also appeared as a monograph of over 1000 pages, he examined arithmetic compactifications of Shimura varieties with PEL structures (polarization, endomorphism and level structures). He continued a program that Gerd Faltings and Chai had started.

In 2014 he became a Sloan Fellow.
