In the history of mathematics, Meike Akveld is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Meike Akveld as Swiss mathematician.
Meike Akveld was born at Leiden in 1972. Her recorded nationality is Switzerland. She studied at ETH Zurich.
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 ETH Zurich.
Mathematical work is judged by whether anyone can build on it, and that judgement takes decades.
That the work was done from Switzerland matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Meike Akveld is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
