Biography

Kim received his PhD at Yale University in 1990 under the supervision of Serge Lang and Barry Mazur, going on to work in a number of universities, including M.I.T., Columbia, Arizona, Purdue, the Korea Institute for Advanced Study, UCL (University College London) and the University of Oxford. He is currently the Christopher Zeeman Professor of Algebra, Geometry, and Public Understanding of Mathematics at University of Warwick.

Research

Kim has made contributions to the application of arithmetic homotopy theory to the study of Diophantine problems, especially to finiteness theorems of the Faltings–Siegel type.

Awards

In 2012, Minhyong Kim received the Ho-Am Prize for Science,[1] with the Ho-Am committee citing him as "one of the leading researchers in the area of arithmetic algebraic geometry".
