German mathematician
Angkana Rüland (born 1987) is a German applied mathematician, a professor in mathematics and holder of a Hausdorff Chair in mathematics at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics of the University of Bonn . Her research has included work on the mathematical modeling of shape-memory alloys and on the inverse problems arising in animal echolocation .[1]
Education and career
Rüland was born in 1987 in Chiang Mai , but is a German citizen.[2] She grew up in Bonn and was a mathematics student at the University of Bonn.[1] She completed her doctorate in 2014 with the dissertation On Some Rigidity Properties in PDEs supervised by Herbert Koch .[3] [2]
After postdoctoral research at the University of Oxford ,[1] working there with John M. Ball ,[4] she became a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in 2017. She took a professorship at Heidelberg University in 2020 before returning to the University of Bonn in 2023.[1]
Recognition
Rüland is one of the recipients of the 2024 New Horizons in Mathematics Prize , associated with the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics , "for contributions to applied analysis, in particular the analysis of microstructure in solid-solid phase transitions and the theory of inverse problems".[5]
