Andrée Ehresmann (born Andrée Bastiani) is a French mathematician specialising in category theory.[1] A researcher at CNRS from 1957 to 1963, she was awarded a Ph.D. in 1962 under Gustave Choquet. She is an Emeritus Professor at IRCAM,[2] at the University of Picardie Jules Verne, having worked there from 1967.
Ehresmann has published over a hundred works on Analysis (Differential Calculus and Infinite Dimension Distributions, Guiding Systems and Optimization Problems), Category Theory (with her husband, Charles Ehresmann: sketches and internal categories, multiple categories, closed monoidal structures) and the modeling of complex autonomous systems (Memory Scalable Systems, including the MENS model for neuro-cognitive systems)..
She developed, with J.-P. Vanbremeersch a model of Memory Evolutive Systems, which proposes a mathematical model for 'living' systems with a hierarchy of complex components with multiple temporalities, such as biological, neuro-cognitive, or social systems. Based on a theory of 'dynamic' categories, evolving memory systems can analyze complexity, emergence and self-organization.
