Idun Reiten

She took her PhD degree at the University of Illinois in 1971, becoming the second Norwegian woman to earn a PhD in mathematics.{{cite web |title=Details: Idun Reiten International Mathematical Union (IMU) |url=https://www.mathunion.org/cwm/people/gallery/idun-reiten |website=International Mathematical Union Committee for Women in Mathematics |publisher=International Mathematical Union |access-date=22 February 2024}} She was appointed as a professor at the University of Trondheim in 1982,{{cite encyclopedia|year=2007|title=Idun Reiten|encyclopedia=Store norske leksikon|editor=Henriksen, Petter|publisher=Kunnskapsforlaget|location=Oslo|url=http://www.snl.no/Idun_Reiten|language=Norwegian|accessdate=26 October 2009}} now named the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

Her research area is representation theory for Artinian algebras, commutative algebra, and homological algebra. Her work with Maurice Auslander now forms the part of the study of Artinian algebras known as Auslander–Reiten theory. This theory utilizes such concepts as almost-split sequences and Auslander-Reiten quivers, which were developed in a series of papers.

In 2005, Reiten received the Humboldt Research Award.https://www.humboldt-foundation.de/en/connect/explore-the-humboldt-network/singleview/1119251/prof-dr-idun-reiten, 30 March 2024 In 2007, Reiten was awarded the Möbius prize. In 2009 she was awarded Fridtjof Nansen's award for successful researchers, (in the field of mathematics and the natural sciences), and the Nansen Medal for Outstanding Research.[http://www.dnva.no/nyheter/vis.html?tid=40218 Fridtjof Nansens belønning til fremragende forskere], Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, 28 April 2009.

In 2007, she was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. She is also a member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters, and Academia Europaea.{{citation|url=http://www.ae-info.org/ae/User/Reiten_Idun|title=Academia Europaea member profile|accessdate=2015-09-22}}.

In 2012, she became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[https://www.ams.org/profession/fellows-list List of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society], retrieved 2013-06-09. She was named MSRI Clay Senior Scholar and Simons Professor for 2012-13.{{Cite web|last=MSRI|title=Mathematical Sciences Research Institute|url=http://www.msri.org/|access-date=2021-06-07|website=www.msri.org}}

She delivered the Emmy Noether Lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in 2010 in Hyderabad{{cite web|title=ICM Plenary and Invited Speakers since 1897|url=https://www.mathunion.org/icm-plenary-and-invited-speakers?combine=Reiten|publisher=International Congress of Mathematicians}} and was an Invited Speaker at the ICM in 1998 in Berlin.{{cite book|author=Reiten, Idun|chapter=Titling theory and quasi tilted algebras|title=Doc.

In 2014, the Norwegian King appointed Reiten as commander of the Order of St. Olav "for her work as a mathematician".[http://www.kongehuset.no/nyhet.html?tid=119996&sek=26939 «Utnevnelse til St. Olavs Orden»], kongehuset.no, 4. mars 2013.

She is the namesake of the IDUN: From PhD to Professor program at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, which aimed at "increasing the number of female scientists in top positions at NTNU's Faculty of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering."{{cite web |title=IDUN - From PhD to Professor - NTNU |url=https://www.ntnu.edu/idun |website=ntnu.edu |access-date=5 January 2024}}
