In the history of mathematics, Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb as Austrian mathematician.
Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb was born at Vienna in 1979. Her recorded nationality is Austria. She studied at University of Salzburg and University of Cambridge.
Modern mathematics is collaborative and increasingly computational; proofs can now run to thousands of pages or depend on machine verification.
Her academic posts were held at University of Cambridge and University of Göttingen.
The recorded fields of work are image processing, theory of differential equations and computer image analysis.
Mathematical work is judged by whether anyone can build on it, and that judgement takes decades.
Recognition followed: Whitehead Prize (2016) and Philip Leverhulme Prize (2017).
That the work was done from Austria matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
