Hélène Frankowska

Hélène Frankowska, or Halina Frankowska is a Polish and French mathematician known for her research in control theory and set-valued analysis. She is a director of research at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique, and works in the Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu of Pierre and Marie Curie University.[1]

Education

Frankowska completed her undergraduate studies in 1979 at the University of Warsaw, in the Department of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics. After a year of studies at the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste, Italy, she completed her doctorate of the third cycle in 1983 and her state doctorate in mathematics in 1984 at Paris Dauphine University.[1] Her dissertation, jointly supervised by Czesław Olech and Jean-Pierre Aubin, was Nonsmooth Analysis and its Applications to Viability and Control.[2]

Contributions and recognition

With Aubin, Frankowska wrote Set-Valued Analysis (Birkhäuser, 1990, reprinted 2009).[3]

She was an invited speaker at the 2010 International Congress of Mathematicians, in the section on control theory and optimization.[4]

gollark: Um.
gollark: That sounds pretty hard.
gollark: Take cars. Lots of people have cars, which are giant heavy metal boxes designed to move at high speeds. Those are dangerous. Lithium-ion batteries can explode or catch fire or whatnot. Maybe future technology we all depend on will have some even more dangerous component... programmable nanotech or something, who knows. *Is* there a good solution to this?
gollark: That sort of thing is arguably an increasingly significant problem, since a lot of the modern technology we depend on is pretty dangerous or allows making dangerous things/contains dangerous components.
gollark: Or change them.
