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 is 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]
