Biography
Sophie Morel studied in Paris at the École Normale Supérieure. In 2005 she finished her Ph.D. at the University of Paris-Sud, under the supervision of Gérard Laumon. Her thesis was a step forward in the Langlands program.
After her Ph.D., she was a Clay Research Fellow between 2005 and 2011. In December 2009 she was appointed as a professor of mathematics at Harvard University, becoming the first woman in mathematics to be tenured there.
She gave an invited talk at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2010, in the "Number Theory" section. In 2012 she received one of the prestigious European Mathematical Society Prize for young researchers, and in May 2013 she was announced as the winner of the inaugural 2014 AWM-Microsoft Research Prize in Algebra and Number Theory.
In a 2011 interview, she credited a math magazine bought while in 9th grade as well as summer camps for developing her interest in mathematics and in a 2012 interview she mentioned being a keen distance runner.
