Noriko Yui is a professor of mathematics at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.
A native of Japan, Yui obtained her B.S. from Tsuda College, and her Ph.D. in Mathematics from Rutgers University in 1974 (her advisor was Richard Bumby, and her thesis was titled Elliptic Curves and Formal Groups).[1]
Well known internationally, Yui was a visiting researcher at the Max-Planck-Institute in Bonn and a bye-fellow at Newnham College, University of Cambridge. Her research in Algebraic Geometry and Mathematical Physics includes topics such as the inverse Galois problem, Calabi–Yau threefolds and mirror symmetry.[2] She has collaborated with numerous mathematicians connected to string theory and on at least one occasion, Yau himself.[3]
