Mireille Martin-Deschamps

Mireille Martin-Deschamps is a French mathematician who studies the algebraic geometry of space curves. She was president of the Société mathématique de France.

Education and career

Martin-Deschamps studied at the École normale supérieure de jeunes filles from 1965 to 1969, and completed a doctorate in 1976 at Paris-Sud University, supervised by Pierre Samuel. She was a researcher for the French National Centre for Scientific Research from 1969 until 2003, when she became a professor at Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines University. She retired in 2010, and the university held a colloquium in honor of her retirement.[1]

She was president of the Société mathématique de France from 1998 to 2001.[2] As well, she served on the executive committee of the European Mathematical Society beginning in 2006.[1]

Research

Martin-Deschamps's doctoral work was in algebraic geometry in the style of Alexander Grothendieck. Her later work involved Hilbert schemes of space curves in projective space.[1]

gollark: "This is part of the solution" really does not mean "this is entirely useless".
gollark: Geoengineering would be good if it's workable, although nuclear is just pretty good generally even if it will not fix everything instantly.
gollark: A significant amount of energy use is electricity. If we make that cleanly, that is a significant step toward reducing climate change, and you can then throw cheap electricity at other problems.
gollark: "This wouldn't fix literally all problems at once so why even do it?"
gollark: Since a lot of them are.
