Amie Wilkinson

Amie Wilkinson, whose full name is Anne Marie Wilkinson, was born in 1968 and is an American mathematician and professor of mathematics at the University of Chicago, having earlier been a professor at Northwestern University. Her research concerns smooth dynamical systems, ergodic theory, chaos theory and semisimple Lie groups, with particular emphasis on stable ergodicity and partial hyperbolicity. She took a bachelor's degree at Harvard University in 1989 and a doctorate at the University of California, Berkeley in 1995 under Charles C. Pugh. With Christian Bonatti and Sylvain Crovisier she settled the C1 case of the twelfth problem on Stephen Smale's list of problems for the twenty-first century. She received the 2011 Satter Prize, partly for her work with Keith Burns on stable ergodicity, gave an invited talk at the 2010 International Congress of Mathematicians, became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2013, was elected to Academia Europaea in 2019, won the 2020 Levi L. Conant Prize and joined the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2021.
