Maria (Masha) Gordina is a Russian-American mathematician.[1] She is a professor of mathematics at the University of Connecticut. Her research is at the interface between stochastic analysis, differential geometry, and functional analysis, including the study of heat kernels on infinite-dimensional groups.[2]
Gordina is the daughter of mathematician Mikhail (Misha) Gordin.[3]
Gordina earned a diploma in 1990 from Leningrad State University, and became an assistant professor at the Leningrad Electrotechnical Institute.[4] She completed her doctorate in 1998 from Cornell University; her dissertation, Holomorphic functions and the heat kernel measure on an infinite dimensional complex orthogonal group, was supervised by Leonard Gross.[4][5] Gordina held a post-doctoral appointment at McMaster University. She was awarded a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in 2000, and conducted research at the University of California, San Diego. In 2003 Gordina joined the University of Connecticut faculty.[4]
Gordina serves on the editorial boards of Forum Mathematicum,[6] the Electronic Journal of Probability,[7] and Electronic Communications in Probability.[8]
Gordina was awarded a Humboldt Research fellowship in 2005 (with renewals), and the Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize of the Association for Women in Mathematics in 2009. She was named a Simons Fellow [9] (2016) in Mathematics and Physical Sciences. She was named to the 2023 class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society, "for contributions to stochastic and geometric analysis, infinite-dimensional analysis, and ergodicity of hypoelliptic diffusions".[10]
