Anne Schilling facts for kids
Anne Schilling is an American mathematician. She studies different kinds of math, like how to count arrangements (called combinatorics), how to understand complex math structures (called representation theory), and how math connects to physics. She is a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Davis.
Her Education
Anne Schilling earned her highest degree in math, called a Ph.D., in 1997. She studied at Stony Brook University. Her big research project was about complex math ideas in physics.
After her Ph.D., she worked as a researcher. She was at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Amsterdam University from 1997 to 1999. Then, she taught math at M.I.T. from 1999 to 2001. After that, she became a professor at the University of California, Davis.
Books She Wrote
Anne Schilling has written several important math books.
Research Books
She co-wrote a research book called 
-Schur Functions and Affine Schubert Calculus. This book is for advanced mathematicians. It explores special math functions and calculations. It was published in 2014.
Textbooks
She also co-wrote a textbook on linear algebra. This book is called Linear Algebra as an Introduction to Abstract Mathematics. It helps students learn about basic math for computers and engineering. It was published in 2016.
With Daniel Bump, she wrote another advanced book. It is called Crystal Bases: Representations and Combinatorics. This book is about advanced topics in representation theory. It was published in 2017.
Awards and Recognition
Anne Schilling has received many awards for her work in mathematics.
- Fulbright Scholar: From 1992 to 1993, she was a Fulbright Scholar. This is a special award for students to study or do research abroad.
- Humboldt Research Fellowship: In 2002, she received a Humboldt Research Fellowship. This award helps top researchers from other countries work in Germany.
- Simons Fellowship: She was given a Simons Fellowship for the 2012–2013 school year. This fellowship supports scientists doing important research.
- Fellow of the American Mathematical Society: In 2019, she became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. This means she is recognized for her important contributions to math.
- Emmy Noether Lecturer: She was chosen as the 43rd Emmy Noether Lecturer in 2024. This is a very special honor given to women mathematicians.
