Annie A. M. Cuyt (born 1956) is a Belgian computational mathematician known for her work on continued fractions, numerical analysis, Padé approximants, and related topics. She is a professor at the University of Antwerp, and a member of the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts.
Education and career
Cuyt was born on 27 May 1956 in Elizabethstad (now Lubumbashi), in the Belgian Congo. She earned her Ph.D. at the University of Antwerp in 1982. Her dissertation, Padé approximants for operators: theory and applications, was promoted by Luc Wuytack. She was a postdoctoral researcher with support from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, and completed a habilitation in 1986.
She is a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Antwerp, where she leads the computational mathematics group.
