Brigitte Irma Servatius (born 1954)[1] is a mathematician specializing in matroids and structural rigidity.
She is a professor of mathematics at Worcester Polytechnic Institute,[2] and has been the editor-in-chief of the Pi Mu Epsilon Journal since 1999.
[2] She completed her Ph.D. in 1987,[5] and joined the Worcester Polytechnic Institute [4] faculty in the same year.
[5] While still in Austria, Servatius began working on combinatorial group theory, and her first publication (appearing while she was a graduate student) is in that subject.
[6][G] Another well-cited paper of hers in this area characterizes the planar Laman graphs, the minimally rigid graphs that can be embedded without crossings in the plane, as the graphs of pseudotriangulations, partitions of a plane region into subregions with three convex corners studied in computational geometry.
