From 1980 to 2002, she worked at the University of Paris-Sud. After that, she moved to the Institut de mathématiques de Jussieu (IMJ). She works there as a director of research. This means she leads important math studies.
Her Math Work
Catherine Goldstein is known for her work in mathematics. She was a main speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2018. This is a very important meeting for mathematicians from all over the world.
She also helped edit a book called The shaping of arithmetic after C. F. Gauss's Disquisitiones arithmeticae. This book is about how math, especially arithmetic, developed after a famous mathematician named Carl Friedrich Gauss.
