Her Journey in Mathematics
Karine Beauchard started her studies at a special school called École normale supérieure Cachan in 1999. She studied there until 2003. In 2002, she passed a big exam called the agrégation. This exam allows people to teach in French high schools and universities.
In 2003, she earned a master's degree in numerical analysis from Pierre and Marie Curie University. Numerical analysis is about solving math problems using computers. She then continued her studies and earned her doctorate degree in 2005. Her research was about controlling and stabilizing special math equations.
She worked at Cachan from 2005 to 2006. After that, she became a researcher at CNRS, which is a big French science organization. She worked there until 2014. In 2014, she became a professor at the École normale supérieure de Rennes, where she teaches today.
Awards and Special Recognition
Karine Beauchard has received several important honors for her math work.
Peccot Lecturer
From 2007 to 2008, she was a Peccot Lecturer at the Collège de France. This is a very special honor. It means she was invited to give a series of important talks. Her talks were about how to control Schrödinger equations, which are used in quantum physics.
Michel-Monpetit Prize
