Jill Pipher

Jill Catherine Pipher ( born December 14, 1955 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania) is an American mathematician.

Pipher studied at the University of California, Los Angeles, with a bachelor 's degree in 1979 and his doctorate in 1985 at John Garnett ( Double index square functions and bounded mean oscillation on bi- discs). She taught until 1990 at the University of Chicago and was then a professor at Brown University, where she presided from 2005 to 2008 the mathematics faculty. She is since 2011 the founding director of the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics ( ICERM, Princeton ).

It deals with harmonic analysis with applications to elliptic partial differential equations with non- constant coefficients and with cryptography. In 1996 she founded with Jeffrey Hoffstein, Daniel Lieman and Joseph Silverman NTRU Cryptosystems to market their algorithms NTRUEncrypt and NTRUSign. The public-key cryptosystem NTRU (for N - th degree truncated polynomial ring ) is based on arithmetic in polynomial rings. He was presented by Hoffstein, Pipher and Silverman on the Crypto 96.

Jill Pipher is since 2011 President of the Association of Women in Mathematics. She is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
