Sophie Morel (born 1979)[3] is a French mathematician, specializing in number theory. She is a CNRS directrice de recherches in mathematics at École normale supérieure de Lyon. In 2012 she received one of the ten prizes of the European Mathematical Society.

Biography

[edit]

In a 2011 interview, Morel credited a math magazine bought while in 9th grade as well as summer camps for developing her interest in mathematics[4] and in a 2012 interview she mentioned being a keen distance runner.[5] She studied in Paris at the École Normale Supérieure, graduating in 1999.[6] In 2005 she finished her Ph.D. at the University of Paris-Sud, under the supervision of Gérard Laumon.[5][6] Her thesis made progress on the Langlands program.[5]

After her Ph.D., she was a Clay Research Fellow between 2005 and 2011. In December 2009 she was appointed as a professor of mathematics at Harvard University,[7] becoming the first woman in mathematics to be tenured there.[8] From 2012 to 2020, she was a professor of mathematics in Princeton University, where she was also the Henry Burchard Fine Professor in 2015.[9] Morel moved to École Normale supérieure de Lyon as an CNRS directrice de recherches in mathematics in 2020.

Recognition

[edit]

She gave an invited talk at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2010, in the "Number Theory" section.[10] In 2012 she received one of the prestigious European Mathematical Society Prize for young researchers, and in May 2013 she was announced as the winner of the inaugural 2014 AWM-Microsoft Research Prize in Algebra and Number Theory.[11][6]
