Valérie Berthé

Valérie Berthé (born 16 December 1968)[1] is a French mathematician who works as a director of research for the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) at the Institut de Recherche en Informatique Fondamentale (IRIF), a joint project between CNRS and Paris Diderot University.

Her research involves symbolic dynamics, combinatorics on words, discrete geometry, numeral systems, tessellations, and fractals.

Her dissertation, Fonctions de Carlitz et automates: Entropies conditionnelles was supervised by Jean-Paul Allouche.

[1] Berthé's research spans the area of symbolic dynamics, combinatorics on words, numeration systems and discrete geometry.

She has recently made significant process in the study of S-adic dynamical systems, and also of continued fractions in higher dimensions.
