Ilse Fischer

Ilse Fischer (born June 29, 1975)[1] is an Austrian mathematician whose research concerns enumerative combinatorics and algebraic combinatorics, connecting these topics to representation theory and statistical mechanics.[2] She is a professor of mathematics at the University of Vienna.

Education and career

Fischer was born in Klagenfurt. She studied at the University of Vienna beginning in 1993, earning a master's degree (mag. rer. nat.), doctorate (dr. rer. nat.), and habilitation there respectively in 1998, 2000, and 2006.[1] Her doctoral dissertation, Enumeration of perfect matchings: Rhombus tilings and Pfaffian graphs, was jointly supervised by Christian Krattenthaler and Franz Rendl,[1][3] and her habilitation thesis was A polynomial method for the enumeration of plane partitions and alternating sign matrices.[1]

She worked as an assistant at Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt from 1999 to 2004,[1][4] with a year of postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2001.[4] She moved to the University of Vienna in 2004, and at Vienna she was promoted to associate professor in 2011 and to full professor in 2017.[1]

Recognition

Fischer won the 2006 Dr. Maria Schaumayer Prize, and the 2009 Start-Preis of the Austrian Science Fund.[4]

With Roger Behrend and Matjaž Konvalinka, Fischer is a winner of the 2019 David P. Robbins Prize of the American Mathematical Society and Mathematical Association of America, for their joint research on alternating sign matrices.[5]
