Birge Katharina Huisgen-Zimmermann is a mathematician at University of California, Santa Barbara specializing in representation theory and ring theory.[1]

Life and career

Huisgen-Zimmerman was born in Germany. Her father was the chemistry professor Rolf Huisgen. She received her Ph.D. from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in 1974 under the supervision of Friedrich Kasch.[2] Huisgen-Zimmerman received her habilitation from Technical University of Munich in 1979, and stayed on the faculty at the Technical University of Munich until 1981. She became a researcher at the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, a faculty member at the University of Iowa, and a professor with a personal chair at the University of Passau, before moving to Santa Barbara in 1987.[1]
