Live and act

Wedhorn studied mathematics at the University of Münster as a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation with a diploma in algebraic geometry in 1994. He then went to the Bergische Universität Wuppertal and the University of Cologne , where he received his doctorate in 1998 under Michael Rapoport ( Ordinariness in good reductions of Shimura Varieties of PEL Type ). He was also at MSRI for two months . The dissertation on arithmetic geometry received the University Prize of the University of Cologne. He was a post-doctoral student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . In 2000 he became a research assistant in Cologne and in 2003 at the University of Bonn, where he completed his habilitation in 2005. In 2006 he received a Heisenberg grant and in the same year a professor at the University of Paderborn , where he headed the Arithmetic Geometry group. Since March 2016 he has been a professor at the TU Darmstadt .

He deals with the Langlands program , which proposes connections between automorphic representations and number theory.
