Eugenia Malinnikova (born 23 April 1974) is a mathematician, winner of the 2017 Clay Research Award which she shared with Aleksandr Logunov "in recognition of their introduction of a novel geometric combinatorial method to study doubling properties of solutions to elliptic eigenvalue problems".[1]
As a high school student, she competed three times in the International Mathematical Olympiad, winning three Gold medals (including two perfect scores).[2] She is a member of the International Mathematical Olympiad Hall of Fame.[3]
She got her PhD from St. Petersburg State University in 1999, under the supervision of Viktor Petrovich Havin. Currently she works as a professor of mathematics at Stanford University[4] after previously working at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
In 2018 she was inducted into the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.[5] She is also a member of the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters[6] and the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences.[7] She was elected as a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in the 2024 class of fellows.[8]
