Kirsten Eisenträger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anne Kirsten Eisenträger is a professor of mathematics at The Pennsylvania State University, known for her research on computational number theory, Hilbert's tenth problem, and applications in cryptography.

Eisenträger earned a Vordiplom in mathematics in 1996 from the University of Tübingen and a Master's degree (1998) and a Ph.D. (2003) from the University of California, Berkeley;[1] her dissertation, titled Hilbert’s Tenth Problem and Arithmetic Geometry, was supervised by Bjorn Poonen.[1][2] After temporary positions at the Institute for Advanced Study and the University of Michigan, she joined the Pennsylvania State University faculty in 2007.[1]

Eisenträger appears in the documentary film Julia Robinson and Hilbert's Tenth Problem (2008).[3] In 2017, she became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to computational number theory and number-theoretic undecidability".[4]
