Élisabeth Bouscaren (born 1956)[1] is a French mathematician who works on algebraic geometry, algebra and mathematical logic (model theory).[2]

Education and career

Bouscaren received her doctorate in 1979 from the University of Paris VII and her habilitation in 1985. From 1981 she worked at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) until 2005, when she moved to the University of Paris XI. Since 2007, she has held the position of Research Director at CNRS.

She has been a visiting scholar at Yale University, the University of Notre Dame and MSRI, and has published a book on Ehud Hrushovski's proof of the Mordell-Lang conjecture. She was an invited speaker in the logic session of the 2002 International Congress of Mathematicians.[3]

In 2020, Bouscaren gave the Gödel Lecture, titled The ubiquity of configurations in Model Theory.
