Biography:Anna Wienhard
Anna Katharina Wienhard (born 1977)[1] is a German mathematician whose research concerns differential geometry, and especially the use of higher Teichmüller spaces to study the deformation theory of symmetric geometric structures.[1] She is a director at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences.[2]
Education and career
Wienhard did her undergraduate studies at the University of Bonn, earning a double degree in theology and mathematics.[1] Continuing at Bonn, she earned a doctorate in 2004 under the joint supervision of Hans Werner Ballmann and Marc Burger.[3]
After holding temporary positions at the University of Basel, Institute for Advanced Study, and University of Chicago, she took a faculty position at Princeton University in 2007. She moved to Heidelberg as a full professor in 2012[4] and to Leipzig as a research director at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences[2] in 2022.
Recognition
From 2009 to 2013, Wienhard was a member of the Young Academy of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina and Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities.[4] In 2012, she became one of the inaugural fellows of the American Mathematical Society.[5] She was elected as a regular member of the Leopoldina in 2023.[6]
She was the Emmy Noether Lecturer of the German Mathematical Society in 2012,[7] and an invited speaker at the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians.[8] She was named MSRI Clay Senior Scholar for Fall 2019.[9]
