Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat
Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat was a pioneering French physicist known for her groundbreaking work in the fields of general relativity and gravitational waves. Born on December 29, 1911, she made history as the first woman elected to the French Academy of Sciences in 1979 and was a prominent figure in her field throughout her career. She completed her thesis under the guidance of mathematician André Lichnerowicz and later had the unique opportunity to present her work to Albert Einstein at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Her contributions to physics were recognized with numerous accolades, including the silver medal from the CNRS in 1958, and she remained an influential figure in science until her passing on February 11, 2023, a date that coincidentally aligns with the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
Born on Dec 29, 1912 (112 years old)
