Amie Wilkinson

Amie Wilkinson (born 1968) is an American mathematician working in ergodic theory and smooth dynamical systems. She received a bachelor of arts degree from Harvard University in 1989 and a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley in 1995 under the direction of Charles C. Pugh.[1] She is currently a professor of mathematics at the University of Chicago. Wilkinson's work focuses on the geometric and statistical properties of diffeomorphisms and flows with a particular emphasis on stable ergodicity and partial hyperbolicity. In a series of papers with Christian Bonatti and Sylvain Crovisier, Wilkinson studied centralizers of diffeomorphisms[2][3] settling the C1 case of the twelfth problem on Stephen Smale's list of mathematical problems for the 21st Century.[4]

Awards

Wilkinson was the recipient of the 2011 Satter Prize in Mathematics,[1] in part for her work with Keith Burns on stable ergodicity of partially hyperbolic systems [5]

She gave an invited talk, "Dynamical Systems and Ordinary Differential Equations", in the International Congress of Mathematicians 2010 in Hyderabad, India.[6]

In 2013 she became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society, for "contributions to dynamical systems".[7]
