Education and career
editMantovan 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, with Ken Ribet as a mentor, from 2002 until 2005.[1][5] In 2005, she joined the Caltech faculty. From August 2010 through March 2011, she was a von Neumann Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study.[6] She was promoted to full professor at Caltech in 2010, and was the executive officer of the mathematics department from 2016 to 2019.[2]
Mentorship
editMantovan is faculty advisor for the Caltech chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics.[7] She has been cited as a mentor for undergraduate mathematicians including Ila Varma, 2009 honorable mention for the Alice T. Schafer Prize,[8] and Laura Lewis, 2021 winner of the National Center for Women and Information Technology (NCWIT) 2021 Collegiate Award.[9]
