Lynn Margaret Batten (1948[1] – 28 July 2022[2][3]) was a Canadian-Australian mathematician[4] known for her books about finite geometry and cryptography, and for her research on the classification of malware.[5]

Education and career

Batten earned her Ph.D. at the University of Waterloo in 1977. Her dissertation was D-Partition Geometries.[6]

Formerly the Associate Dean for Academic and Industrial Research at the University of Manitoba, she holds the Deakin Chair in Mathematics at Deakin University in Australia, where she directed the information security group.[7]
