Mathematics Pioneer Ingrid Daubechies Has More Barriers to Break

It's nice to read about Daubechies here on HN. I remember reading a few of her papers circa 2006 for an academic project. At the time I was accustomed (prejudiced, maybe) to see mostly male authors in all the papers I used, and I was a bit surprised to learn that the I in "I. Daubechies" meant Ingrid. I'm happy to see her still going, her work is awesome.

I had the opposite experience when I met Jan Hesthaven at a GR conference. Turns out it is a German man's name and not a woman, which I found out after professing how much I love the hard 'J' versions book on spectral methods for time dependent problems.

What is GR? General relativity?

So there are two Jan Hesthavens? One (a man) who works in GR and another (a woman) who works in signal processing or time series analysis?

Sounds like they went around the conference talking about Jan (as in Janet), when other attendants knew this work was by Jan (Yan).
