Bonn, 01.06.2021. Catharina Stroppel will be one of the Plenary Speakers at the next International Congress of Mathematics (ICM), which will take place in St. Petersburg, Russia, from 6 to 14 July, 2022. The ICM is the most influential conference in pure and applied mathematics. Many prestigious awards as the Fields Medals are awarded during the congress's opening ceremony. An invitation to give a plenary lecture to the thousands of ICM participants is considered a special distinction in the mathematical community.

Catharina Stroppel is a Professor in Pure Mathematics at the Mathematical Institute and a member of the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics. Her interests include different aspects of Lie theory and representation theory, often combining geometric, algebraic and combinatorial aspects. She was a pioneer of the concept of categorification and is in particular known for the development of a Lie theoretic version of Khovanov homology. She is a member of the German National Academy Leopoldina and was an invited ICM speaker in 2010 and winner of the Whitehead Prize.
