Ailana Margaret Fraser is a Canadian mathematician and professor of mathematics at the University of British Columbia.[1] She is known for her work in geometric analysis and the theory of minimal surfaces.[2] Her research is particularly focused on extremal eigenvalue problems and sharp eigenvalue estimates for surfaces, min-max minimal surface theory, free boundary minimal surfaces, and positive isotropic curvature.[3]
Early life and education[]
Fraser was born in Toronto, Ontario.[2] She received her Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1998 under the supervision of Richard Schoen.[2][4] After postdoctoral studies at the Courant Institute of New York University, she taught at Brown University before moving to UBC.[2]
Awards and honors[]
Fraser won the Krieger–Nelson Prize of the Canadian Mathematical Society in 2012[2] and became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2013.[5] In 2018 the Canadian Mathematical Society listed her in their inaugural class of fellows[6] and in 2021 awarded her, along with , the Cathleen Synge Morawetz Prize.[7]
