Ilka Agricola (born August 8, 1973 in The Hague)[1] is a German mathematician who deals with differential geometry and its applications in mathematical physics. She is dean of mathematics and computer science at the University of Marburg, where she has also been responsible for making public the university's collection of mathematical models.[2]
Life and work[]
Agricola studied physics at the Technical University of Munich and the University of Munich from 1991 to 1996.[1] After a guest stay at Rutgers University in New Jersey (United States) that lasted until the end of 1997 she went to the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, where in 2000 she earned a mathematics doctorate under .[3]
From 2003 to 2008, she led one of the Volkswagen Foundation funded research groups at Humboldt University in the field of special geometries in mathematical physics. From 2004 to 2008 she was a project manager in the priority program for string theory at the German Research Foundation and the Collaborative Research Center 1080. Agricola took the Habilitation in 2004 at the University of Greifswald in mathematics. In 2008 she was appointed full professor at the University of Marburg. From November 2014 until October 2018, she has been Dean of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. She is be president of the German Mathematical Society 2021–2022.[4]
Agricola is Editor in Chief of two academic journals in mathematics published by Springer Science+Business Media, Annals of Global Analysis and Geometry (since 2015) and Mathematische Semesterberichte (since 2021). She is an editor of the journal Communications in Mathematics published by De Gruyter.[5]
Awards and honors[]
In 2003, Ilka Agricola received the Medal of Honor of Charles University in Prague.[6] In 2016, she was awarded the of the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft and German Rectors' Conference for excellence in teaching mathematics.[7]
