WIrmgard Flügge-Lotz, née Lotz was a German-American mathematician, aerospace engineer, and control theorist. She was a pioneer in the development of the theory of discontinuous automatic control, which has found wide application in hysteresis control systems; such applications include guidance systems, electronics, fire-control systems, and temperature regulation. She became the first female engineering professor at Stanford University in 1961 and the first female engineer elected a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
WDörte Haftendorn is a German mathematician, mathematics educator, and textbook author who works as a professor at Leuphana University of Lüneburg.
WUrsula Hamenstädt is a German mathematician who works as a professor at the University of Bonn. Her primary research subject is differential geometry.
WGrete Hermann was a German mathematician and philosopher noted for her work in mathematics, physics, philosophy and education. She is noted for her early philosophical work on the foundations of quantum mechanics, and is now known most of all for an early, but long-ignored critique of a "no hidden-variables theorem" by John von Neumann. It has been suggested that, had her critique not remained nearly unknown for decades, the historical development of quantum mechanics might have been very different.
WGudrun Kalmbach is a German mathematician and educator known for her contributions in the field of quantum logic and for the educational programmes she developed.
WGitta Kutyniok is a German applied mathematician known for her research in harmonic analysis, deep learning, compressed sensing, and image processing. She has a Bavarian AI Chair for "Mathematical Foundations of Artificial Intelligence" in the institute of mathematics at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.
WTanja Lange is a German cryptographer and number theorist at the Eindhoven University of Technology. She is known for her research on post-quantum cryptography.
WHannah Markwig is a German mathematician specializing in tropical geometry. In 2010 she won both the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Prize of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the Helene Lange Prize for her research.
WRuth Moufang was a German mathematician.
WAmalie Emmy Noether was a German mathematician who made many important contributions to abstract algebra. She discovered Noether's theorem, which is fundamental in mathematical physics. She invariably used the name "Emmy Noether" in her life and publications. She was described by Pavel Alexandrov, Albert Einstein, Jean Dieudonné, Hermann Weyl and Norbert Wiener as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. As one of the leading mathematicians of her time, she developed some theories of rings, fields, and algebras. In physics, Noether's theorem explains the connection between symmetry and conservation laws.
WChristina Pagel is a British–German mathematician and professor of operational research at University College London (UCL). She is the first female director of the Clinical Operational Research Unit (CORU) at UCL, which applies operational research, data analysis and mathematical modelling to problems in health care. Pagel also holds an honorary researcher position within Great Ormond Street Hospital.
WErika Pannwitz was a German mathematician who worked in the area of geometric topology. During World War II, Pannwitz worked as a cryptanalyst in the Department of Signal Intelligence Agency of the German Foreign Office colloquially known as Pers Z S.
WLisa Sauermann is a mathematician from Germany who was the most successful participant in the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2011. As of January 2018, she is ranked No.3 in the International Mathematical Olympiad Hall of Fame, having won four gold medals (2008–2011) and one silver medal (2007) at this event. In all of those occasions she represented Germany. She was the only student to achieve a perfect score at IMO 2011.
WAngelika Steger is a mathematician and computer scientist whose research interests include graph theory, randomized algorithms, and approximation algorithms. She is a professor at ETH Zurich.
WCatharina Stroppel is a German mathematician whose research concerns representation theory, low-dimensional topology, and category theory. She is a professor of mathematics at the University of Bonn, and vice-coordinator of the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics in Bonn.
WEva Viehmann is a German mathematician who holds a professorial chair in arithmetic geometry at the Technical University of Munich.
WKatrin Wehrheim is an associate professor of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. Their research centers around symplectic topology and gauge theory.
