Benzoni was a student at the École normale supérieure de Saint-Cloud. She completed her Ph.D. in 1991 at the Claude Bernard University Lyon 1; her dissertation, supervised by Denis Serre, was ''Analyse numerique des modeles hydrodynamiques d'ecoulements diphasiques instationnaires dans les reseaux de production petroliere''. She became a researcher at CNRS in 1992, and in 2003 became a professor at Claude Bernard University. After five years as assistant director at the in Lyon, she became director there in 2016. ==Contributions==

With her advisor Denis Serre, Benzoni is the author of Multi-dimensional Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations: First-Order Systems and Applications (Oxford University Press, 2007) and the editor of Hyperbolic Problems: Theory, Numerics, Applications (Springer, 2008). She is the author of a French textbook on differential calculus and differential equations, Calcul différentiel et équations différentielles: Cours et exercices corrigés (Dunod, 2010; 2nd ed., 2014). Benzoni is also active in communicating mathematics to the public, through her work with the European Mathematical Society, and is a supporter of open access publishing of research. ==References==
