Barbara Kaltenbacher is an Austrian mathematician whose research concerns inverse problems, regularization, and PDE-constrained optimization, with applications including the mathematical modeling of piezoelectricity and nonlinear acoustics.[1] She is a Professor of Applied Analysis at the University of Klagenfurt,[2] a member of the Executive Committee of the European Mathematical Society [3] and was editor in chief of the Journal of the European Mathematical Society.[2]. Barbara Kaltenbacher has published more than 130 scientific papers and is (co-)author of four monographs.

Education and career edit

Kaltenbacher studied mathematics at Johannes Kepler University Linz, earning a diploma in 1993 and a doctorate in 1996.[2] Her dissertation, Some Newton type methods for the regularization of nonlinear ill-posed problems, was supervised by Heinz Engl.[4] She was head of a Hertha Firnberg Project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF 1999-2001 and an Emmy Noether Junior Research group funded by the German Research Foundation DFG 2003-2006. After taking temporary professor positions at the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg, and the University of Göttingen, she became a professor of Optimization at the University of Stuttgart in 2006. She moved to the University of Graz in 2010 as a professor of Applied Mathematics, and to her present position in Klagenfurt in 2011. Barbara Kaltenbacher was president of the Austrian Mathematical Society,[5] 2018-2021, chair of the scientific advisory board of the Weierstrass Institute,[6] 2015-2021, and was elected as a corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences,[7] in 2021.
