Kiran Kedlaya
Kiran Sridhara Kedlaya (born July 1974 in Silver Spring , Maryland ) is an American mathematician who studies number theory and arithmetic algebraic geometry .
Kedlaya has Indian ancestry. He was a finalist in the Westinghouse Talent Competition in 1992, won gold medals in 1990 and 1992, and a silver medal in the 1991 International Mathematical Olympiad . In 1994 he attended the Budapest Semesters in Mathematics . From 1993 to 1995 he was a Putnam Fellow after success in the Putnam competition. He received his bachelor's degrees in mathematics and physics from Harvard University in 1996 and his master's degree in mathematics from Princeton University in 1997 . In 1997 he studied at the University of California, Berkeley , and in 2000 he received his PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with Aise Johan de Jong ( Descent theorems for overconvergent F-Crystals ). As a post-doctoral student , he was at MSRI and Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2003 he became an assistant professor at MIT and in 2007 an associate professor. In 2009 he became Associate Professor and in 2011 Professor at the University of California, San Diego .
He is particularly concerned with p-adic analytical methods in arithmetic geometry and p-adic Hodge theory, with algorithms in arithmetic geometry and applications in cryptography.
From 2006 to 2008 he was a Sloan Research Fellow . In 2006 he received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers and in 2016 the George Pólya Award from the Mathematical Association of America . In 2010 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad ( Relative p-adic Hodge Theory and Rapoport-Zink Period Domains ). He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
