Biography:Meike Akveld
Meike Maria Elisabeth Akveld is a Swiss mathematician and textbook author, whose professional interests include knot theory, symplectic geometry, and mathematics education. She is a tenured senior scientist and lecturer in the mathematics and teacher education group in the Department of Mathematics at ETH Zurich.[1][2][3] She is also the organizer of the Mathematical Kangaroo competitions in Switzerland,[4] and president of the Association Kangourou sans Frontières, a French-based international society devoted to the popularization of mathematics.[5][6]
Education
Akveld earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Warwick and took Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at the University of Cambridge.[3] She completed her Ph.D. at ETH Zurich in 2000, with the dissertation Hofer geometry for Lagrangian loops, a Legendrian knot and a travelling wave jointly supervised by Dietmar Salamon and Leonid Polterovich.[7]
