Education and career

Wohlmuth earned a master's degree in mathematics in 1991 from Joseph Fourier University in France, and a diploma in 1992 from TUM.[1] She completed a doctorate at TUM in 1995, under the supervision of Ronald Hoppe,[1][2] and earned her habilitation in 2000 at the University of Augsburg.

She worked as a full professor at the University of Stuttgart from 2001 until 2010, when she returned to TUM.[1]

Recognition

In 2005, the Istituto Lombardo Accademia di Scienze e Lettere in Milan gave her their International Giovanni Sacchi Landriani Prize. She won the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft in 2012.[3] In 2013 she was elected to the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities.[4] In 2020 she was named a SIAM Fellow "for sustained seminal contributions to the field of numerical mathematics and for exemplary leadership and service to the computational science community".[5] She was elected to the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina in 2022.[6]

She was the Emmy Noether Lecturer of the German Mathematical Society in 2014,[7] and an invited speaker on numerical analysis and scientific computing at the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians.[8]
