{{Use dmy dates|date=June 2022}} {{short description|Austrian mathematician}} [[File:Ilse Fischer Oberwolfach 2026.jpg|thumb|Fischer at Oberwolfach in 2026]] '''Ilse Fischer''' (born 29 June 1975){{r|cv}} is an Austrian mathematician whose research concerns enumerative combinatorics and algebraic combinatorics, connecting these topics to representation theory and statistical mechanics.{{r|as}} She is a professor of mathematics at the University of Vienna.

==Education and career== Fischer was born in Klagenfurt. She studied at the University of Vienna beginning in 1993, earning a master's degree (mag. rer. nat.), doctorate (dr. rer. nat.), and habilitation there respectively in 1998, 2000, and 2006.{{r|cv}} Her doctoral dissertation, ''Enumeration of perfect matchings: Rhombus tilings and Pfaffian graphs'', was jointly supervised by Christian Krattenthaler and Franz Rendl,{{r|cv|mg}} and her habilitation thesis was ''A polynomial method for the enumeration of plane partitions and alternating sign matrices''.{{r|cv}}

She worked as an assistant at Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt from 1999 to 2004,{{r|cv|start}} with a year of postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2001.{{r|start}} She moved to the University of Vienna in 2004, and at Vienna she was promoted to associate professor in 2011 and to full professor in 2017.{{r|cv}}

==Recognition== Fischer won the 2006 Dr. Maria Schaumayer Prize, and the 2009 Start-Preis of the Austrian Science Fund.{{r|start}}

With Roger Behrend and Matjaž Konvalinka, Fischer is a winner of the 2019 David P. Robbins Prize of the American Mathematical Society and Mathematical Association of America, for their joint research on alternating sign matrices.{{r|robbins}}
