Women in Mathematics Lecture Series
About the Event
The FSU Women in Mathematics departmental lecture series is an annual event aimed at promoting the achievements of women in mathematics and fostering an inclusive community within the field. Held each March, the series features a one-day program that includes a lunch with graduate students, Association for Women in Mathematics chapter members, female faculty, and postdocs, followed by a colloquium lecture delivered by a distinguished female mathematician. The event provides a platform for networking, mentorship, and inspiring discussions on current mathematical research and gender diversity in the mathematical sciences.

Amie Wilkinson is a professor of mathematics at the University of Chicago, where she has been on the faculty since 2012. She earned an A.B. in mathematics from Harvard in 1989 and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1995 under Charles Pugh, then rose through the ranks at Northwestern University before moving to Chicago. Wilkinson's work sits at the heart of smooth dynamical systems and ergodic theory; her results on stable ergodicity, partial hyperbolicity, and (with Christian Bonatti and Sylvain Crovisier) the C1-centralizer problem provided a partial resolution of Smale's 12th problem for the 21st century.
Her research excellence and expository skill have been recognized with the 2011 Ruth-Lyttle-Satter Prize and the 2020 Levi L. Conant Prize of the American Mathematical Society. She became a fellow of the AMS in 2013, a member of Academia Europaea in 2019, and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2021. An invited speaker at the 2010 International Congress of Mathematicians and a frequent plenary lecturer worldwide, Wilkinson continues to shape modern dynamics while mentoring the field's next generation.
