Stephanie van Willigenburg
Stephanie van Willigenburg is a professor of mathematics at the University of British Columbia[1] whose research is in the field of algebraic combinatorics and concerns quasisymmetric functions. Together with James Haglund, Kurt Luoto and Sarah Mason, she introduced the quasisymmetric Schur functions, which form a basis for quasisymmetric functions.[HLM]
van Willigenburg earned her Ph.D. in 1997 at the University of St. Andrews under the joint supervision of Edmund F. Robertson and Michael D. Atkinson, with a thesis titled The Descent Algebras of Coxeter Groups.[2] She was awarded the Krieger–Nelson Prize in 2017[3] by the Canadian Mathematical Society.
