Gottfried E. Noether (1915–1991), son of Fritz Noether, statistician at the University of Connecticut
Category theory is also, in some sense, a continuation of the work of Emmy Noether (one of Mac Lane's teachers) in formalizing abstract processes; Noether realized that in order to understand a type of mathematical structure, one needs to understand the processes preserving that structure.
Together with Professor Bernard Pinchuk he founded and established "Gelbart Institute", an international research institute named after Abe Gelbart, and the "Emmy Noether Institute" (Minerva Center).
