Mirjam received her Ph.D. in physics from the University of Maryland in 1981. After a post-doctoral fellowship at SLAC at Stanford University, she moved to the University of Pennsylvania where she is now a Fay R. and Eugene L. Langberg Professor of Physics and holds a secondary appointment in the Department of Mathematics. Her research efforts span from leading work in string theory compactification and its particle physics implications to important work in quantum gravity consequences of string theory. She is an APS Fellow (2001), a recipient of the University of Maryland Physics Distinguished Alumni Award (2007), the Siemens Research Prize by the Humboldt Foundation (2020), and she has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Science (2023). She has served as an editor for Physics Letters B and now leads PRD.
