Heide Gluesing-Luerssen facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Heide Gluesing-Luerssen (born in 1961) is a German mathematician. She is an expert in a special area of math called algebraic coding theory. Currently, she is a top research professor at the University of Kentucky in the United States.

Who is Heide Gluesing-Luerssen?

Heide Gluesing-Luerssen is known for her work in algebraic coding theory. This part of mathematics helps us understand how to send information reliably, even when there's noise or interference. Think about how your phone sends messages or how satellites send data back to Earth. Coding theory helps make sure those messages arrive correctly! It's like creating secret codes that can fix themselves if a part of the message gets lost or changed.

Her Journey in Math

Heide Gluesing-Luerssen started her advanced studies at the University of Bremen in Germany. She earned her doctorate degree there in 1991. After that, she taught mathematics at the University of Oldenburg from 1993 to 2004. During her time there, she completed another important academic step in 2000, which showed her deep knowledge and ability to lead research.

In 2004, she moved to the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. Then, in 2007, she came to the University of Kentucky in the United States, where she continues her important work today.

What She Has Written

Heide Gluesing-Luerssen has also written a book about her mathematical research. The book, published in 2002, is called Linear delay-differential systems with commensurate delays: an algebraic approach. It's a very detailed book for other mathematicians who are interested in advanced topics related to systems that involve delays in their processes.
