At a young age she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease which continued to adversely affect her health. In 1992 she became Assistant Lecturer in Mathematics at the University of New England, later moving to the University of Adelaide and the Australian National University. For her doctoral thesis, awarded in 1999, she studied the theorem that a static Maxwell-Dirac system is electrically neutral. Her published research was in the area of mathematical physics/nonlinear partial differential equations, bioinformatics, and sequence analysis and gene regulatory networks. Booth was involved in both the Australian Mathematical Society and ANZIAM, serving as Assistant Editor for the latter's Journal. She was much respected for her teaching abilities. The Hilary Booth Scholarship is awarded annually by the Mathematical Sciences Institute at the Australian National University, to a student entering their final honours year or intending to proceed to an honours degree. 1977 1977 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc) (mathematical physics), University of Adelaide 1992 1992 Education - Certificate of Equivalent Honours, University of New England 1992 1997 Career position - Associate Lecturer, University of New England 1998 2000 Career position - Lecturer, University of Adelaide 1999 1999 Education - PhD (applied mathematics), University of New England 2000 2001 Career position - Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Centre for Mathematics and its Applications, Australian National University 2001 2002 Career position - Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Centre for Bioinformation Science (CBiS), Australian National University 2002 2005 Career position - Research Fellow, Centre for Bioinformation Science (CBiS), Australian National University Australian National University (1946 - )
