Education and career
Kings studied mathematics at the University of Bonn between 1984 and 1989. He received his doctorate in 1994 and habilitation in 2000 at the University of Münster. In 2001, he held a research professorship at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn. He has been a full professor at the University of Regensburg since 2001.
Kings has done research in arithmetic geometry, the theory of automorphic forms, Iwasawa theory, polylogarithms, and special values of L-functions.{{Cite web |title=Forschung - Universität Regensburg |url=https://www.uni-regensburg.de/mathematik/mathematik-kings/forschung/index.html |access-date=2025-04-04 |website=www.uni-regensburg.de}}
He was the speaker of the research group Algebraic Cycles and L-Functions funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).{{Cite web |last=Dietze |first=Rudolf |date=2005-02-25 |title=Ausnahmestellung der Regensburger Mathematik bekräftigt |url=https://idw-online.de/de/news102300 |url-status=live |access-date=2025-04-04 |website=idw-online.de}}{{Cite web |title=Forschergruppe Algebraische Zykel und L-Funktionen |url=https://forschergruppe.app.uni-regensburg.de/ |access-date=2025-04-04 |website=forschergruppe.app.uni-regensburg.de}} Since 2012, he has been the speaker of the collaborative research centre (SFB) Höhere Invarianten – Wechselwirkungen zwischen Arithmetischer Geometrie und Globaler Analysis, also funded by the DFG.{{Cite web |title=SFB1085 - Higher Invariants |url=https://sfb-higher-invariants.app.uni-regensburg.de/index.php?title=Main_Page |access-date=2025-04-04 |website=sfb-higher-invariants.app.uni-regensburg.de}}
Awards
Together with his coauthor Annette Huber-Klawitter, Kings was the recipient of the award of the Universitätsgesellschaft Münster for young scientists in 1999.{{Cite web |title=Preisträger des Nachwuchsförderpreises |url=https://www.uni-muenster.de/Foerderer/foerdern/preistraegernwp.html |access-date=2025-04-04 |website=www.uni-muenster.de}} Kings and Huber-Klawitter were also invited speakers at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing in 2002.{{Cite web |title=Schedule of Invited Lectures |url=http://www.icm2002.org.cn/B/Schedule_by_Section.htm |access-date=2025-04-04 |website=www.icm2002.org.cn}}{{Cite web |title=colloquia |url=https://www.math.unipd.it/~conti/colloquia/colloquia_files/20180508_GuidoKings.html |access-date=2025-04-04 |website=www.math.unipd.it}}
