Nathalie Eisenbaum studied at Pierre and Marie Curie University. She earned her doctorate degree there in 1989. A doctorate is the highest university degree you can get. Her special research project, called a dissertation, was about how certain mathematical movements behave. Her supervisor for this work was Marc Yor, another famous mathematician.
Important Awards and Recognition
Nathalie Eisenbaum is a special member, called a Fellow, of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. This is a group for experts in statistics and probability.
In 2011, Nathalie Eisenbaum and another scientist named Haya Kaspi won a special award. They shared the Itô Prize from the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability. They received this prize for their important shared work on a type of mathematical process called "permanental point processes."
