She joined CNRS at the University of Paris-Sud in 2001
(overlapping with postdoctoral studies at Berkeley and the Berkeley Mathematical Sciences Research Institute), joined the Tel Aviv University faculty in 2007[6], and moved her CNRS position from Paris-Sud to Paris Diderot in 2010.[5]. Between 2011 and 2018 she was a researcher in finance.[5] She became director of the Center of Data Science at NYU and a professor at the Courant Institute in September 2018.[2]
Awards and honors
In 2006, Kempe won the bronze medal of CNRS and the Irène Joliot-Curie Prize of the French government.[3][7] In 2009 she won the Krill Prize of the Wolf Foundation,[8] and in 2010 she won the Trophée des femmes en or (English: "Women in Gold" trophy [fr] ) for her research.[1] In 1998 she received a reward from Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes (English: "German Academic Scholarship Foundation") which was awarded to only 0.25% of students at the time.[10] She became a knight in the National Order of Merit in 2010.[5] In 2018, she was elected to the Academia Europaea.[9]
