Uhlenbeck did much of her work in the early 1980s, when research communities that had grown apart were starting to talk to each other again, she recalls. “There was a real flowering of this relationship between mathematics and physics,” she says. Mathematicians proved that they had information useful to physicists, who “had great ideas of objects t...
Karen Keskulla was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1942, and grew up in part in New Jersey, intensely interested in learning. “I read all of the books on science in the library and was frustrated when there was nothing left to read,” she wrote in a 1996 autobiographical essay. After an initial interest in physics, she earned her PhD in mathematics in 1...
Uhlenbeck has been a relentless advocate for women in mathematics, and founded the Women and Mathematics programme at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. “She has been an enormous role model and mentor for many generations of women,” says Caroline Series, a mathematician at the University of Warwick in Coventry UK, and the pr...
