[edit]

An alumnus of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Kutzko earned his doctorate under supervision of Donald McQuillan in 1972.

Work

[edit]

In 1980, Kutzko proved the local Langlands conjectures for the general linear group GL2(K) over local fields.[2] In 2014, he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to representations of p-adic groups and the local Langlands program, as well as for recruitment and mentoring of under-represented minority students."[3]
