Eva Viehmann (born in 1980) is a German mathematician who holds a professorial chair in the arithmetic geometry and representation theory research group at the University of Münster. Before that she was a professor working on arithmetic geometry at the Technical University of Munich.[2]

Viehmann studied at the University of Bonn, where her 2005 doctoral thesis, On affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties for (supervised by Michael Rapoport)[3] won the Felix Hausdorff Memorial Award. She earned her habilitation in 2010, and in 2012 was appointed to her professorship at the Technical University of Munich.[4]

Viehmann won the 2012 von Kaven Award in mathematics of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft for her work on the Langlands program.[4] She was an invited speaker at the 2018 International Congress of Mathematicians, speaking in the section on Lie Theory and Generalizations.[5] She was also the Emmy Noether Lecturer of the German Mathematical Society in 2018.[6] In 2021 she became a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.[7]
