Edit ProfileCareer
In 2005, he made a major advance in the field of Galois representations and number theory by proving the level 1 Serre conjecture, and later a proof of the full conjecture with Jean-Pierre Wintenberger. He finished his thesis in 1995 under the supervision of Haruzo Hida at California Institute of Technology. His Doctor of Philosophy thesis was published in the Duke Mathematical Journal.
