Donna Testerman

Donna Marie Testerman (born 1960)[1] is a mathematician specializing in the representation theory of algebraic groups. She is a professor of mathematics at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland.[2]

Testerman completed her Ph.D. at the University of Oregon in 1985. Her dissertation, Certain Embeddings of Simple Algebraic Groups, was supervised by Gary Seitz.[3] As a faculty member at Wesleyan University, she won a Sloan Research Fellowship in 1992.[4]

Testerman an author or editor of several books and book-length research monographs in mathematics including:

• Irreducible subgroups of exceptional algebraic groups (1988)[5]
• ${\displaystyle A_{1}}$ subgroups of exceptional algebraic groups (1999)[6]
• Centres of centralizers of unipotent elements in simple algebraic groups (2011)[7]
• Group Representation Theory (2007)[8]
• Linear algebraic groups and finite groups of Lie type (2011)[9]
