Alicia Dickenstein(born 17 January 1955, inBuenos Aires) is anArgentinemathematicianknown for her work onalgebraic geometry,particularlytoric geometry,tropical geometry,and their applications to biological systems.[1]She is a full professor at theUniversity of Buenos Aires,[2]a 2019Fellowof theAmerican Mathematical Society,[3]a former vice-president of theInternational Mathematical Union(2015–2018), and a 2015 recipient of The World Academy of Sciences prize.[4]
Research[edit]
Dickenstein is editor-in-chief of the journalRevista de la Unión Matemática Argentina.[5]She is also a corresponding editor for the SIAM Journal on Applied Algebra and Geometry.[6]
In 2009–2010, Dickenstein was an Eisenbud professor atMSRI,and in 2012–2013, she was a Simons professor at MSRI.[7][8]In 2016, Dickenstein was a Knut and Alice Wallenbergs Professor atKTH.[9]
Her research focuses on usingAlgebraic geometryandcombinatoricsto predict behaviours ofBiological systemswithout knowing precise parameters.[10]In joint work withMercedes Pérez Millán,she created a system called The MESSI System (named after the footballer,Lionel Messi) which stands for Modifications of the type-Enzyme-Substrate or Swap with Intermediates. This allows researchers to prove general results valid in certain networks.[10][11]
Education[edit]
Dickenstein obtained her Ph.D. from theUniversidad de Buenos Airesin 1982 underMiguel E. M. Herrera.[12][13]
Honors[edit]
In 2015, Dickenstein received theTWAS PrizefromThe World Academy of Sciences for the advancement of science in developing countries.
In 2018, Dickenstein was elected as aFellowof theAmerican Mathematical Societyfor "contributions to computational algebra and its applications, especially in systems biology, and for global leadership in supporting underrepresented groups in mathematics."[14]That year, she was also named a Full Member of the National Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences of Argentina.[15]
In 2020 she was named aSIAM Fellow"for contributions to algebraic geometry and its applications within geometric modeling and in the study of biochemical reaction networks".[16]
In 2021, Dickenstein received theL’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science International Awardfor the Latin America and Caribbean region. She was "recognized for her outstanding contributions at the forefront of mathematical innovation by leveraging algebraic geometry in the field of molecular biology. Her research enables scientists to understand the structures and behavior of cells and molecules, even on a microscopic scale. Operating at the frontier between pure and applied mathematics, she has forged important links to physics and chemistry and enabled biologists to gain an in-depth structural understanding of biochemical reactions and enzymatic networks."[17]
In 2023 she was granted the Platinum Konex Award for her work in Mathematics in the last decade.[18]
Leadership[edit]
In 2021, Dickensen joined theSIAMCouncil as a Member-at-Large.[19]
Children's books[edit]
Dickenstein has produced several books for children, includingMate max: la matemática en todas partes,which presentsmathematical problemsdesigned for young children.[10]
