Catherine Bandle

Catherine Bandle (born March 22, 1943 in Frauenfeld ) is a Swiss mathematician and university professor . In 1974, she was the first woman to do her habilitation in mathematics and one of the first women to do so at ETH Zurich .

life and work

Bandle studied mathematics with a diploma at the ETH Zurich and received his doctorate there in 1971 under Joseph Hersch with the dissertation: Construction of isoperimetric inequalities in mathematical physics from those in geometry. As the second woman after Alice Roth , she received the ETH silver medal for her dissertation. In 1974 she qualified as the first mathematician and one of the first women at the ETH. From 1975 until her retirement in 2003 she was a professor at the University of Basel . Her research area is partial differential equations .
