Bernadette Perrin-Riou (born 1 August 1955) is a French number theorist.

Early life

Perrin-Riou was born on 1 August 1955 in Les Vans, Ardèche, France. Her parents had both had a scientific education;[1] her mother and father were a physicist and chemist, respectively. She was brought up, along with her sisters, in Neuilly-sur-Seine.[2][3]

Education

She entered the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Jeunes Filles in 1974, completing her undergraduate work in 1977. She then took a research assistant position at the Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris.[3] She received an advanced degree from University of Paris-Sud in 1979, working with Georges Poitou;[2] she then obtained a doctoral degree from the Pierre and Marie Curie University in 1983. Her thesis advisor was John H. Coates, and her thesis was entitled "Шаблон:Lang" ("Arithmetic of elliptic curves and Iwasawa theory").[3]

Career

She became Шаблон:Lang at UPMC in 1983, and was then invited to spend a year as a visiting professor at Harvard University; she subsequently became a professor at the same university.[3]

In 1994 she moved to a position at University of Paris-Sud in Orsay, which was primarily a research position (that is, with few teaching requirements).[2] In the same year, she was invited to give an address at the International Congress of Mathematicians, which was held in Zürich,[3] which she gave on "Шаблон:Lang L p-Шаблон:Lang" ("p-adic L-functions").[4]

Research

Perrin-Riou's research is in number theory, concentrating on p-adic L-functions and Iwasawa theory.[1]

Awards

She was awarded the Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize in Mathematics prize in 1999, a prize established in 1990 for women in maths.[1]
