Life and career

[edit | edit source]

Chatzidakis was born on 3 April 1955.[2] She earned her Ph.D. in 1984 from Yale University, under the supervision of Angus Macintyre, with a dissertation on the model theory of profinite groups.[3] She was Senior researcher and team director in Algebra and Geometry in the Département de mathématiques et applications de l'École Normale Supérieure.[4][5]

Her research concerned model theory and difference algebra. She was invited to give the Tarski Lectures in 2020, though the lectures were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]

Chatzidakis died on 22 January 2025 in Paris at the age of 69.[2]
