Ursula Hamenstädt
Ursula Hamenstädt (born 15 January 1961) is a German mathematician who works as a professor at the University of Bonn.[1] Her primary research subject is differential geometry.
Biography
Hamenstädt earned her Ph.D. from the University of Bonn in 1986, under the supervision of Wilhelm Klingenberg.[2] She was then a Miller Research Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley and an assistant professor at the California Institute of Technology before returning to Bonn as a faculty member in 1990.[1]
Honors
Hamenstädt was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2010.[3] In 2012 she was elected to the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina,[4] and in the same year she became one of the inaugural fellows of the American Mathematical Society.[5]
