Ju-Lee Kim (Korean: 김주리, born 1969) is a South Korean mathematician who works as a professor of mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Her research involves the representation theory of p-adic groups.

Education and career

Kim completed her undergraduate studies at KAIST in 1991, and earned a Ph.D. from Yale University in 1997 supervised by Roger Howe; at Yale, she was also mentored by Ilya Piatetski-Shapiro.

After postdoctoral study at the Institute for Advanced Study and the École Normale Supérieure, she joined the faculty as an assistant professor at the University of Michigan in 1998. Kim joined the faculty at University of Illinois at Chicago in 2002, and then moved to MIT in 2007.

Recognition

In 2015 she was elected as a fellow of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to the representation theory of semisimple groups over nonarchimedean local fields and for service to the profession."

Personal

Her husband, Paul Seidel, is also a mathematician at MIT.
