We are very pleased to welcome Professor Hélène Esnault, previously of Universität Duisburg-Essen, as the new Professor of Number Theory at the Institute for Mathematics, Freie Universität Berlin. Due to her pioneering work in the field of arithmetic geometry, Professor Esnault has gained an impressive international reputation, documented by the highly renowned national and international scientific awards she has received.

Professor Esnault's move to Berlin is financially supported by the Einstein Foundation Berlin making her the first ever Einstein professor at FU Berlin! With the appointment of Professor Esnault, not only will Berlin's entire mathematics community gain an outstanding personality, but the BMS will also benefit from her role as a new member of the BMS faculty!
