Verena Huber-Dyson (1923-2016) Huber-Dyson, who worked in group theory and logic, died March 12 at the age of 92. She was born to Swiss parents in Naples and grew up in Athens but moved with her family to Switzerland in 1940 because of the war. Huber-Dyson received her PhD from the University of Zurich in 1947 and moved to the U.S. in 1948 for a post-doctoral fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Study. She held positions at many universities around the world and taught courses on the foundation of mathematics as a philosophy professor at the University of Calgary from 1973 to 1988. Her son, George Dyson, said that her last words were, "This will all go smoothly. Let's get going." She was an AMS member since 1949. Read more about her life. |
