Tatiana Toro (born 1964) is a Colombian-American mathematician at the University of Washington. [1] Her research is "at the interface of geometric measure theory, harmonic analysis and partial differential equations". [2] Toro was appointed director of the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute for 2022–2027. [3]
Toro was born in 1964 in Colombia, [2] [4] and attended the Lycée Français Louis Pasteur in Bogotá. [5] She competed for Colombia in the 1981 International Mathematical Olympiad, [6] and earned a bachelor's degree from the National University of Colombia. [7] In 1992, she was awarded her PhD at Stanford University, under the supervision of Leon Simon. [8] After short-term positions at the Institute for Advanced Study, University of California, Berkeley, and University of Chicago, she joined the University of Washington faculty in 1996. [1] Since August 2022, Toro serves as the director of Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (formerly MSRI). [4] She will maintain her tenure at the University of Washington throughout her term. [9]
Toro was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2010. [10] She became a Guggenheim Fellow in 2015. [2] She was elected as a member of the 2017 class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to geometric measure theory, potential theory, and free boundary theory". [11] At the University of Washington, she was the Robert R. & Elaine F. Phelps Professor in Mathematics from 2012 to 2016 [12] and is currently the Craig McKibben and Sarah Merner Professor. Toro was named MSRI Chancellor's Professor for 2016–17. [13] She was awarded the 2020 Blackwell-Tapia Prize. [14] She was elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) in 2020. [15] Toro was honored as the AWM/MAA Falconer Lecturer in 2023. [16]
