Viehmann studied at the University of Bonn, where her 2005 doctoral thesis, On affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties for (supervised by Michael Rapoport)[4] won the Felix Hausdorff Memorial Award. She earned her habilitation in 2010, and in 2012 was appointed to her professorship at the Technical University of Munich.[5]
Viehmann won the 2012 von Kaven Award in mathematics of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft for her work on the Langlands program.[5] She was an invited speaker at the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians, speaking in the section on Lie Theory and Generalizations.[6] She was also the Emmy Noether Lecturer of the German Mathematical Society in 2018.[7] In 2021 she became a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.[8]
