Claire Mathieu, a former student at the ENS and holder of a thesis in computer science from the Université Paris-Sud, is currently Director of Research at the CNRS. She has worked as a CNRS researcher at the ENS-Lyon and as a professor at various institutions: ENS (attached professor), Université Paris-Sud, École Polytechnique, Brown University (USA). Her research focuses on algorithmics, and in particular on the design of algorithms to find near-optimal solutions to problems that are difficult to solve exactly. Recently, she has been interested in modeling social networks, reconstructing hidden graphs, and graphs that can be drawn in the plane. In 2019, she was awarded the CNRS silver medal.
