Gabriele Steidl

Gabriele Steidl (born Drauschke, 1963) is a German mathematician whose research interests include computational harmonic analysis, convex optimization, and image processing. She is a professor of mathematics at Technische Universität Berlin.

Education and career Steidl studied mathematics at the University of Rostock, earning a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in 1988 and completing her habilitation in 1991. Her doctoral dissertation, Grundlagen schneller Algorithmen für verallgemeinerte diskrete Fouriertransformationen, concerned fast algorithms for the discrete Fourier transform and was supervised by Manfred Tasche.

After consulting for a German insurance association, she became an assistant professor at Technische Universität Darmstadt in 1993. She moved to the University of Mannheim as a professor in 1996, and moved again to the Technical University of Kaiserslautern in 2011 before taking her present position at Technische Universität Berlin in 2020. From 2020-21, she is program director of the SIAM Activity Group on Imaging Science.
