Kathryn Elizabeth Hare (born 1959)[1] is a Canadian mathematician specializing in harmonic analysis and fractal geometry.[2] She was the Chair of the Pure Mathematics Department at the University of Waterloo from 2014 to 2018.[3] She retired from the University of Waterloo in 2021.
Hare did her undergraduate studies at the University of Waterloo, graduating in 1981.[2] She earned a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia in 1986. Her dissertation, under the supervision of John J. F. Fournier, was Thin Sets and Strict-Two-Associatedness, and concerned group representation theory.[2]
She was an assistant professor at the University of Alberta from 1986 to 1988, before she moved back to Waterloo.[2]
In 2011, the Chalmers University of Technology awarded her an Honorary Doctorate for her "prominent research, both in extent and depth, within classical and abstract harmonic analysis".[4] In 2020 she was named as a Fellow of the Canadian Mathematical Society.[5]
