Education and career
Brenner did her undergraduate studies in mathematics and German at West Chester State College and received a master's degree in mathematics from SUNY Stony Brook.[4] She obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1988 under the joint supervision of Jeffrey Rauch and L. Ridgway Scott; her thesis was entitled "Multigrid Methods for Nonconforming Finite Elements".[5]
She held faculty positions at Clarkson University and the University of South Carolina before moving to Louisiana State University in 2006.[4][6]

Recognition
She is a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics,[7] the American Mathematical Society,[8] and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[9] The Association for Women in Mathematics has included her in the 2020 class of AWM Fellows for "being a role model nationally and internationally due to her widely-known work in finite element methods; for her promotion of women in mathematics via the Women in Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing network, as mentor of Ph.D.s, and as advisor of graduate and undergraduate students".[10] Brenner was also awarded a Humboldt Forschungspreis (Humboldt Research Award) from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in 2005.[11]
She is included in a deck of playing cards featuring notable women mathematicians published by the Association of Women in Mathematics.[12]
