Life
After receiving his doctorate, Kudla spent a year at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, following which he joined the faculty at the University of Maryland, College Park. Since 2006, he has been a Canada Research Chair Professor at the University of Toronto.
In 1997, he discovered relationships between the Fourier coefficients of derivatives of Siegel Eisenstein series and arithmetic invariants of Shimura varieties (heights pairings of arithmetic cycles).
He was a Sloan Fellow in 1981, received the Max-Planck Research Award in 2000, and the Jeffery–Williams Prize of the Canadian Mathematical Society in 2009. He was an Invited Speaker at the 2002 International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing, where he gave a lecture on "Derivatives of Eisenstein series and arithmetic geometry". He is on the Scientific Review Panel of the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS). Since 2004, he has been the co-editor of the Canadian Journal of Mathematics, and the co-organizer of several conferences at the Mathematical Research Institute of Oberwolfach.
