Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann

Nicole Tomczak - Jaegermann, nee Tomczak, (* 1945) is a Polish- Canadian mathematician who deals with functional analysis and especially the theory of Banach spaces.

Tomczak - Jaegermann studied at the Warsaw University with a diploma degree in 1968 and his doctorate in 1974 at Aleksander Pelczynski She was until 1983 at the University of Warsaw and then went to Canada, where she is a professor of mathematics at the University of Alberta. She holds a Canada Research Chair in Geometric Analysis.

They made ​​important contributions to the theory infinite dimensional Banach spaces and asymptotic geometric analysis including compounds of both areas. Her works (especially a work with R. Komorowski ( 1955-2003 ) of 1995) played a major role in solving the homogeneity problem for Banach spaces by Timothy Gowers 1996. Their monograph on Banach - Mazur distances is a standard work.

She has collaborated among others with Hermann king.

1981-1983 she was a visiting professor at Texas A & M University.

She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (1996). In 1999 she received the warrior - Nelson Prize and the 2006 CRM -Fields - PIMS Prize.

She was co-editor of the Canadian Journal of Mathematics and the Canadian Mathematical Bulletin.

In 1998 she was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin (From finite to infinite dimensional phenomena in geometric functional analysis on local and asymptotic level ).
