  Kuperberg biography
Krystyna was brought up in Tarnow until she was 15 years old, when the family moved to Gdansk on the northern coast of Poland.
After graduating, Krystyna Kuperberg undertook research at the University of Warsaw under Borsuk's supervision and, in 1966, she was awarded her Master's degree.
Kuperberg's most celebrated result, however, was discovered in 1993 and published in 1994 in A smooth counterexample to the Seifert conjecture in the Annals of Mathematics.

 Profiles of Women in Mathematics: Krystyna M. Kuperberg
Krystyna Kuperberg was born in 1944 in Poland as Krystyna Trybulec, and she grew up in a small town near the city of Kraków.
Krystyna's brother, who just switched major from philosophy to mathematics, asserted that the only classes worth attending were Borsuk's lectures in topology, There she met her future husband Wlodzimierz Kuperberg.
Kuperberg was promoted to Full Professor in 1984 and was awarded an Alumni Professorship at Auburn in 1994, During the 24 years of her tenure at Auburn she visited Oklahoma State University in 1982-83, the Courant Institute in 1987, MSRI in 1994-95, and briefly, the University of Paris at Orsay in the summer of 1995.

 AWM Essay Contest: Maja Wichrowska
Kuperberg, incredibly talented in her area, was first mesmerized by mathematics in the small town of Tarnow, Poland.
Kuperberg entered the classroom as a young girl, she found that she was enchanted by the various numbers scrawled across the chalkboard.
Kuperberg and so, once she and her husband, Wlodzimierz Kuperberg, whom she had met at one of Borsuk's discussions, had moved to the United States, she became a teacher at Auburn University.

 Krystyna Kuperberg Biography | World of Mathematics
Krystyna Kuperberg is a researcher and educator best known for disproving the famous Seifert conjecture in topology.
After receiving a master's degree from Warsaw University in 1966, Kuperberg had to wait until settling in the United States to earn her Ph.D. This was awarded by Rice University in 1974.
Kuperberg disproved this conjecture in 1993 by constructing a smooth vector field with no closed orbits, and her construction applies not only to 3-spheres, but to all three-dimensional manifolds.

I can't remember where I first encountered the chimney version, though it may have been something Greg Kuperberg told me about the "animal problem:" Consider the unions of unit lattice cubes in R^d.
Generate an equivalence relation by saying that two are equivalent if they are homeomorphic and differ by the addition or removal of a single cube.
It's counterintuitive that this is a hard problem.) For R^6, Siddhartha Gadgil and I showed that finding a path between homeomorphic unions of cubes is nonalgorithmically hard (perhaps impossible?) for thickened wedges of 2-spheres, and for balls depending on some conjectures in algebra.

 Proof and Beauty
In 1992, Milnor proved that the answer, in high dimensions at least, is no. He found two distinct 16-dimensional tori which give rise to the same vibrational pattern, and his entire proof occupies one short journal page.
Another example is the solution to the Seifert conjecture arrived at by Krystyna Kuperberg of Auburn University in Alabama.
This concerns a mathematical object known as a 3-sphere, which sounds bizarre but is very familiar (and entirely unremarkable) to mathematicians.
