Lynn Margaret Batten (1948 – 28 July 2022) was a Canadian-Australian mathematician known for her books about finite geometry and cryptography, and for her research on the classification of malware.
Education and career
Batten earned her Ph.D. at the University of Waterloo in 1977. Her dissertation was D-Partition Geometries.
Formerly the Associate Dean for Academic and Industrial Research at the University of Manitoba, she moved to Deakin University, Australia in 2000, where she held the Deakin Chair in Mathematics, and directed the Information Security Group.
She was involved in the founding of the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) from 2001.
