Biography:Margaret Cheney
Margaret Cheney (born 1955)[1] is an American mathematician whose research involves inverse problems. She is Yates Chair and Professor of Mathematics at Colorado State University.[2]
Education and career
Cheney graduated from Oberlin College in 1976, with a double major in mathematics and physics.[2] She completed her Ph.D. in 1982 at Indiana University Bloomington. Her dissertation, Quantum Mechanical Scattering and Inverse Scattering in Two Dimensions, was supervised by Roger G. Newton.[2][3]
After postdoctoral study at Stanford University, Cheney took a faculty position at Duke University in 1984, and moved to the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1988. In 2012 she moved again to Colorado State University as Yates Chair.[2]
Recognition
In 2000, Cheney became the inaugural Lise Meitner Visiting Professor at Lund University.[4]
Cheney was elected as a SIAM Fellow in 2009 "for contributions to inverse problems in acoustics and electromagnetic theory".[5] In 2012, Oberlin College gave her an honorary doctorate.[2]
