Gisela Engeln-Müllges
Gisela Engeln-Müllges (born 1940) is a German mathematician and artist. She is a professor of numerical mathematics at the Aachen University of Applied Sciences, where she is also a former vice rector for research, development, and technology.[1]
Education and academic career
Engeln-Müllges was born in Leipzig, in 1940. After World War II, Leipzig became part of East Germany (the German Democratic Republic), and Engeln-Müllges escaped to the west in 1961. She studied mathematics at RWTH Aachen University beginning in 1961,[2] and completed a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in 1971, with a dissertation Fluchtebenennomogramme zur Darstellung von Funktionensystemen: Ihre Theorie und praktische Verwendbarkeit concerning numerical analysis.[3]
She has been a professor at the Aachen University of Applied Sciences since 1982, and was vice rector there from 1992 to 2005.[2][4] With Frank Uhlig, she is the author of the books Numerik-Algorithmen mit C and Numerik-Algorithmen mit Fortran (7th ed., 1993, translated into English as Numerical Algorithms with Fortran and Numerical Algorithms with C, Springer, 1996).[5][6][7]
Art
Engeln-Müllges's artworks are abstract, and include both paintings and cast-metal sculptures, based on her many years of work with artist Benno Werth .[1] In 2019, she was one of the selected artists for the London Art Biennale.[2]
Recognition
Engeln-Müllges was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit in 1992.[2][4] In 2005, she was given an honorary doctorate by Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University.[4]
