Christine Paulin-Mohring

Mathematical logician and computer scientist

In the history of mathematics, Christine Paulin-Mohring is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Christine Paulin-Mohring as Mathematical logician and computer scientist.

Christine Paulin-Mohring was born in 1962. Her recorded nationality is France. She studied at Paris Diderot University.

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 ComUE Paris-Saclay University.

Mathematical work is judged by whether anyone can build on it, and that judgement takes decades.

Recognition followed: Michel Monpetit Prize (2015).

That the work was done from France matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.

Christine Paulin-Mohring is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
