Biography:Sylvie Roelly
Sylvie Roelly (born 1960) is a French mathematician specializing in probability theory, including the study of particle systems, Gibbs measure, diffusion, and branching processes. She is a professor of mathematics in the Institute of Mathematics at the University of Potsdam in Germany.
Education and career
Roelly was born in 1960 in Paris,[1] and studied mathematics from 1979 to 1984 at the École normale supérieure de jeunes filles in Paris.[1] She earned a diploma in mathematics in 1980 through the Paris Diderot University, and an agrégation in 1982.[2] She completed her Ph.D. in 1984 through Pierre and Marie Curie University, with the dissertation Processus de diffusion à valeurs mesures multiplicatifs supervised by Nicole El Karoui.[2][3] She also earned her habilitation in 1991 through Pierre and Marie Curie University.[2]
After a year of lecturing at the École normale supérieure, she became a researcher for the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in 1985. She came to Germany as a Humboldt Fellow at Bielefeld University from 1990 to 1994, and was a researcher at the Weierstrass Institute in Berlin from 2001 to 2003, before taking her professorship at Potsdam in 2003.[2]
At Potsdam, she was head of the Institute of Mathematics from 2011 to 2015, and vice-dean of the Faculty of Science from 2016 to 2019.[1] Along with her research interest in probability, she has organized in Potsdam several events concerning the history of Jewish mathematicians.[4][5]
Recognition
In 2007, Roelly and Michèle Thieullen won the Itô Prize of the Bernoulli Society for their work on Brownian diffusion.[6] She was named mathematician of the month for April 2015 by the German Mathematical Society.[4][5]
