Prof. Dr. Jessica Fintzen is a mathematician and professor at the Mathematics Institute of Bonn University in Germany, and a member of the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics Cluster of Excellence. Her research focuses on the representation theory of p-adian groups and their connection to the Langlands program, an important area in pure mathematics in which number theory and algebra come together.

Fintzen obtained her PhD in mathematics at Harvard University and then worked at the University of Michigan, the Institute for Advanced Study, the University of Cambridge and the Duke University before coming to Bonn in 2022 as professor. Her work is internationally recognized with awards such as the Frank Nelson Cole Prize in Algebra and the EMS Prize for her groundbreaking contributions to representation theory.
