He joined the faculty in 1974 and is an internationally recognized leader in his field of research, number theory. He has been selected twice as a UI Faculty Scholar and has had continuous support for his research from the National Science Foundation for 30 years, a rare occurrence in mathematics. He has held visiting positions at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and at the École Normale Superiéure in Paris. He has been an invited speaker at an International Congress of Mathematicians, one of the highest honors a mathematician can receive, and delivered the 2004 UI Presidential Lecture. Kutzko is known as an outstanding teacher in all levels of courses, including the challenging large introductory lecture course for business students. He is particularly noted for his efforts to increase the number of minority students who get graduate degrees in mathematics at UI, an effort that has gained national attention. Professor Kutzko has received the University's prestigious Philip G. Hubbard Award for Outstanding Education. |
