Zoé Maria Chatzidakis (3 April 1955 – 22 January 2025) was a French mathematician who worked as a director of research at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, France.[1]

Life and career

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]

Honours and awards

Chatzidakis was the 2013 winner of the Leconte Prize,[7] and was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2014.[8] She was named MSRI Chern Professor for Fall 2020.[9]
