Career
Ziegler received her Ph.D. in Mathematics
from the Hebrew University under the
supervision of Hillel Furstenberg.[2] Her
thesis title was “Non conventional ergodic
averages”. She spent five years in the US
as a postdoc at the Ohio State University,
the Institute for Advanced Study at
Princeton, and the University of Michigan.
She was a faculty member at the Technion
during the years 2007–2013, and joined
the Hebrew University in the Fall of 2013
as a full professor.

Ziegler received several awards and

honors for her work including the Anna
and Lajos Erdős Prize in mathematics in
2011, and the Bruno memorial award in
2015. She was the European Mathematical
Society lecturer of the year in 2013, and an
invited speaker at the 2014 International
Congress of Mathematicians.
Ziegler serves as an editor of several
journals. Among others she is an editor of
the Journal of the European Mathematical
Society (JEMS), an associate editor of the
Annals of Mathematics, and the Editor in
Chief of the Israel Journal of Mathematics.

Research
Ziegler’s research lies in the interface of
ergodic theory with several mathematical
fields including combinatorics, number
theory, algebraic geometry and theoretical
computer science. One of her major
contributions, in joint work with Ben Green
and Terence Tao (and combined with
earlier work of theirs[3][4]), is the resolution
of the generalized Hardy–Littlewood
conjecture for affine linear systems of
finite complexity.[5]

Other important contributions include the

generalization of the Green-Tao theorem to
polynomial patterns,[6][7] and the proof of
the inverse conjecture for the Gowers
norms in finite field geometry.[8][9][10]
