Ragni Piene (born 18 January 1947, Oslo) [1] is a Norwegian mathematician, specializing in algebraic geometry, with particular interest in enumerative results and intersection theory. [2]
After a bachelor's degree from the University of Oslo in 1969 and a DEA from Université de Paris in 1970 [3] Piene received a doctorate in mathematics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1976, advised by Steven Kleiman. Her dissertation was titled Plücker Formulas. [4]
She was appointed professor at the University of Oslo in 1987. [5]
She was elected a member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters in 1994, [2] [6] and in 2012 she became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society [7] and a member of the Academia Europaea. [8] We is also one of the protagonists of the Women of mathematics exhibition. [9]
Since 2003 she has been a member of the executive committee of the International Mathematical Union, and was the chair of the Abel Committee from 2010–2011 to 2013–2014. [10] [11]
