Alice Silverberg

Alice Silverberg is professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine.[1] Her research concerns number theory and cryptography. With Karl Rubin, she introduced the CEILIDH system for torus-based cryptography in 2003.[2]

Silverberg graduated from Harvard University in 1979,[1] and received her Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1984 under the supervision of Goro Shimura.[3] She joined the Ohio State University faculty in the same year, and moved to Irvine in 2004.[1]

In 2012, Silverberg became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[4] She is part of the 2019 class of fellows of the Association for Women in Mathematics.[5]

In 2017, Silverberg began a blog entitled Alice's Adventures in Numberland, which humorously discusses issues surrounding sexism in academia. This is a topic which she has previously discussed in interviews,[6] and has been quoted on.[7]
