Lilian Matthiesen (born 1984) [1] is a mathematician whose research involves analytic number theory including the application of Fourier analysis to Diophantine geometry. [2] Educated in England, she has worked in France, Germany, and Sweden, and is University Professor in the Mathematics Institute of the University of Göttingen in Germany. [3]
Matthiesen earned a Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge in England in 2012, with the dissertation Applications of the nilpotent Hardy–Littlewood method supervised by Ben Green. [4]
After postdoctoral research at the University of Bristol, and in France at Paris-Sud University and the Institut de mathématiques de Jussieu – Paris Rive Gauche, she became an assistant professor at Leibniz University Hannover in Germany in 2015. She moved to the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm in 2016, [1] and became an associate professor there, [5] before taking a position as University Professor in the Mathematics Institute of the University of Göttingen in Germany. [3]
Matthiesen was the 2020 recipient of the Göran Gustafsson Prize, [1] a 2023 recipient of the Wallenberg Prize of the Swedish Mathematical Society, [6] and the 2024 recipient of the Tage Erlander Prize of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. [2]
