Anne Henke is one of her PhD students . She published over 115 articles and in 2008 was the first Emmy Noether lecturer at the German Mathematical Society . Her research interests are modular representation theory of finite groups, representation theory of the symmetric group and Hochschild cohomology of algebras.
