Marie-Claude Arnaud facts for kids
Marie-Claude Arnaud-Delabrière was born on February 24, 1963. She is a French mathematician. She studies something called dynamical systems. These systems look at how things change over time. Think about how a pendulum swings or how planets move around the sun.
Marie-Claude Arnaud-Delabrière is a math professor at the University of Avignon. She is also a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France. This means she is recognized as a very important researcher in France.
Becoming a Mathematician
Marie-Claude Arnaud-Delabrière loved math from a young age. She studied mathematics at a famous school in Paris called the École normale supérieure (Paris). She was there from 1983 to 1987.
During her studies, she earned several important degrees. In 1984, she got her bachelor's degree. Then, in 1985, she passed a special exam called the agrégation. This exam allows people to teach in French high schools and universities.
She continued her studies and earned her doctorate degree in 1990. She got this degree from Paris Diderot University. Her research was guided by a well-known mathematician named Michael Herman.
Later, in 1999, she completed another important step called a habilitation at Paris-Sud University. This is a high-level qualification that shows a researcher is ready to lead their own research projects.
Teaching and Research
Marie-Claude Arnaud-Delabrière started her career as an assistant at Louis Pasteur University in 1987. She worked there for two years.
From 1989 to 1991, she was a temporary researcher at Paris Diderot University. In 1991, she became an assistant professor at the same university.
In 2001, she moved to the University of Avignon. There, she became a full professor of mathematics. She has been teaching and doing research there ever since.
Awards and Honors
Marie-Claude Arnaud-Delabrière has received many awards for her important work in mathematics.
In 2010, she was invited to speak at the International Congress of Mathematicians. This is a very big meeting where mathematicians from all over the world share their latest discoveries.
In 2011, she won the Gabrielle Sand and M. Guido Triossi Prize. This award comes from the French Academy of Sciences. She won it for her work on Hamiltonian dynamical systems. These systems are a special type of dynamical system. She also studied the movement of balls in dynamical billiards, which is like studying how billiard balls bounce on a table.
In 2013, she was named a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France. This is a special honor for top university professors in France.
In 2020, she became a member of the Academia Europaea. This is a group of leading scientists and scholars from across Europe.
