Dr., Honorarprofessorin HU Berlin

Annette Vogt studied mathematics and physics at the University of Leipzig, where she earned her Diplom in mathematics (functional analysis), and Dr. rer. nat. (PhD) in the history of mathematics. She was a Research Scholar at the Institute for Theory and History of Science of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR in Berlin until 1991. From 1992 to 1994, she worked at the Research Center (Forschungsschwerpunkt) of the History of Science in Berlin.

Annette served as President of the Women's Commission of the Division for the History of Science and Technology within the International Union for the History and Philosophy of Science (DHST/IUHPS) from 2005 to 2013, and as its Secretary 1997 to 2005. From 2009 to 2013 she was elected as assessor of the Council of the DHST; in 2009 she became a member of the Academic Advisory Council of the Moses Mendelssohn Foundation for the Advancement of Humanities (Dessau), in November 2012 as Member of the Scientific Board of the European Society for History of Science (ESHS) and in December 2012 as a Corresponding Member of the International Academy of the History of Science (IAHS). In July 2013 she was elected as Assistant Secretary General of the Council of the DHST. In December 2014 Annette was appointed Honorary Professor at the Humboldt University in Berlin.

Annette’s research focus is the history of science and mathematics, especially in Germany, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Her research interests are also the history of Jewish scientists in Europe, and the history of female scientists in Europe, both from comparative perspectives. In her current research project she investigate the development of statistics between mathematics and social sciences (economy, insurance sciences).
