Sarah Zerbes

Sarah Zerbes (born August 2, 1978 in Germany ) is a German mathematician and university lecturer . She conducts research as a number theorist at University College London . Her research interests include L-functions , the p-adic Hodge theory, and the Iwasawa theory .

Life and research

After graduating from high school in 1998 at Wilhelm-Dörpfeld-Gymnasium in Wuppertal, Zerbes studied mathematics at the University of Cambridge from 1998 to 2001 with a bachelor's degree in 2001 with distinction. From 2002 to 2005 she did her PhD there under John H. Coates with the dissertation Selmer groups over non-commutative p-adic Lie extensions . During her studies, she received a Marie Curie Fellowship at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris in 2004 . After her doctorate, she did a postdoctoral fellowship as a Hodge Fellow at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques near Paris and from 2006 to 2008 as a Chapman Fellow at Imperial College London . From 2008 to 2012 she was a lecturer at the University of Exeter and then until 2014 at University College London, where she has been a professor since 2016. She is married to the mathematician David Loeffler, with whom she introduced a new Euler system with application to the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture .
