Judith D. Sally

Judith Donovan Sally (born Donovan ; born March 23, 1937 ) is an American mathematician who deals with commutative algebra (ring theory).

Sally studied mathematics at Barnard College (Bachelor in 1958) and at Brandeis University (Master in 1960). She then started a family and did not continue her studies until 1968 at the University of Chicago , where she received her doctorate in 1971 under Irving Kaplansky ( Regular overrings of regular local rings , Transactions AMS Volume 171, 1972). She was a post-graduate student at Rutgers University . From 1972 she taught at Northwestern University , where she is now Professor Emeritus.

She dealt primarily with local Noetherian rings and graded rings and in the calculation of their Hilbert functions, which has applications in the investigation of the resolution of singularities of algebraic varieties. She also dealt with other algebraic concepts related to the resolution of singularities.

In 1995 she gave the Noether Lecture . In 1977 she was a Sloan Research Fellow and 1981/82 Bunting Fellow at Radcliffe College. She is married to the mathematician Paul Sally (professor at the University of Chicago ) and has three sons.
