Elena Mantovan is an Italian mathematician specializing in arithmetic geometry.[1] She is a professor of mathematics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).[2]

Education and career

Mantovan earned a laurea in mathematics at the University of Padua in 1995.[2] She completed her Ph.D. in 2002 at Harvard University. Her dissertation, On Certain Unitary Group Shimura Varieties, was supervised by Richard Taylor.[3] She later published it as part of the monograph Variétés de Shimura, espaces de Rapoport-Zink et correspondances de Langlands locales, co-authored with Laurent Fargues (Astérisque 291, Société mathématique de France, 2004).[4]

She was a Miller Research Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley under the mentorship of Ken Ribet from 2002 until 2005,[1][5] when she joined the Caltech faculty. She was promoted to full professor there in 2010, and was the executive officer of the mathematics department from 2016 to 2019.[2]

She is faculty advisor for the Caltech chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics.[6]
