Dr. Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann

Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann is a leading researcher in the mathematical theory of Banach spaces who has initiated several novel directions of study and has solved a number of difficult long-standing problems. She is the leading expert on the Banach-Mazur distance between convex bodies. Her work with Komorowski constituted a major component of the recent celebrated resolution of Banach's homogeneous space problem. In collaboration with König she combined techniques from several mathematical disciplines to solve the projective constants problem in a remarkable piece of original research. Her achievements and ideas have had a major impact on both the infinite- and finite-dimensional theory of Banach spaces.
