Life
Nalini Florence Anantharaman was born in Paris in 1976 to two mathematicians. Her father and her mother are Professors at the University of Orléans. She entered Ecole Normale Supérieure in 1994. She completed her Ph.D in Paris under the supervision of François Ledrappier in 2000 at Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6).[1] She served as associate professor at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, and Ecole Polytechnique (Palaiseau).[2]
She became a full Professor, at the University of Paris-Sud, Orsay in 2009 following time out at the University of California in Berkeley in the year before as a Visiting Miller professor.[3] From January to June 2013 she was in Princeton at the Institute for Advanced Study.[1] She is now a Professor at Université de Strasbourg.
In 2012 she won the Henri Poincaré Prize for mathematical physics that she shared with Freeman Dyson, Barry Simon and fellow French woman Sylvia Serfaty.[4] Anantharaman was included for her work in "quantum chaos, dynamical systems and Schrödinger equation, including a remarkable advance in the problem of quantum unique ergodicity".[5] In 2011 she won the Salem Prize which is awarded for work associated with the Fourier Series. She also took the Prix Jacques Herbrand from the French Academy of Sciences in 2011.[2]
