Krystyna Kuperberg

Polish-American mathematician

Krystyna M. Kuperberg (born Krystyna M. Trybulec; 17 July ) is a Polish-American mathematician who currently works as a professor of mathematics at Auburn University, where she was formerly an Alumni Professor of Mathematics.[1][2][3]

Early life and family

Her parents, Jan W.

and Barbara H. Trybulec, were pharmacists and owned a pharmacy in Tarnów. Her older brother is Andrzej Trybulec. Her husband Włodzimierz Kuperberg and her son Greg Kuperberg are also mathematicians,[2][3] while her daughter Anna Kuperberg is a photographer.[3][4]

Education and career

After attending high school in Gdańsk, she entered the University of Warsaw in , where she studied mathematics.

Her first mathematics course was taught by Andrzej Mostowski; later she attended topology lectures of Karol Borsuk and became fascinated by topology.[2][3]

After obtaining her undergraduate degree, Kuperberg began graduate studies at Warsaw under Borsuk, but stopped after earning a master's degree.[2][3] She left Poland in with her young family to live in Sweden, then moved to the United States in [1][2][3] She finished her Ph.D.

in , from Rice University, under the supervision of William Jaco.[2][5][3] In the same year, both she and her husband were appointed to the faculty of Auburn University.[2][3] From to , Kuperberg served as an American Mathematical Society Council member at large.[6]

Contributions

In she solved a problem of Bronisław Knaster concerning bi-homogeneity of continua.[2][3] In the s she became interested in fixed points and topological aspects of dynamical systems.

In Kuperberg and Coke Reed solved a problem posed by Stanislaw Ulam in the Scottish Book.[7] The solution to that problem led to her work in which she constructed a smooth counterexample to the Seifert conjecture.[1][2][3] She has since continued to work in dynamical systems.[3]

Recognition

In Kuperberg received the Alfred Jurzykowski Prize from the Kościuszko Foundation.[2][3] Her major lectures include an American Mathematical Society Plenary Lecture in March , a Mathematical Association of America Plenary Lecture in January , and an International Congress of Mathematicians invited talk in [1][8] In she became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[9]
