Stephanie B. Alexander

Stephanie Brewster Brewer Taylor Alexander is an American mathematician, a professor emerita of mathematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.[1] Her research concerns differential geometry and metric spaces.[2]

Alexander earned her Ph.D. from UIUC in 1967, under the supervision of Richard L. Bishop, with a thesis entitled Reducibility of Euclidean Immersions of Low Codimensions.[3] After joining the UIUC faculty as a half-time instructor, she became a regular faculty member in 1972.[2] In 2014 she was elected as a fellow of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to geometry, for high-quality exposition, and for exceptional teaching of mathematics."[4]
