Biography:Katrin Leschke
Katrin Leschke (born 1968)[1] is a German mathematician specialising in differential geometry and known for her work on quaternionic analysis and Willmore surfaces. She works in England as a reader in mathematics at the University of Leicester,[2] where she also heads the "Maths Meets Arts Tiger Team", an interdisciplinary group for the popularisation of mathematics,[3] and led the "m:iv" project of international collaboration on minimal surfaces.[4]
Education and career
Leschke did her undergraduate studies at the Technical University of Berlin, and continued there for a PhD,[2] which she completed in 1997. Her dissertation, Homogeneity and Canonical Connections of Isoparametric Manifolds, was jointly supervised by Dirk Ferus and Ulrich Pinkall.[5]
She was a postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Berlin from 1997 to 2002, a visiting assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst from 2002 to 2005, and a researcher and temporary associate professor at the University of Augsburg from 2005 to 2007.[6] At Augsburg, she completed her habilitation,[2] working in the group of Katrin Wendland.[7] She joined the University of Leicester as New Blood Lecturer in 2007 and became reader there in 2016.[6]
Book
Leschke is a coauthor of the book Conformal Geometry of Surfaces in [math]\displaystyle{ S^4 }[/math] and Quaternions (Springer, 2002), developing the theory of quaternionic analysis.[8]
