Christina Sormani is a professor of mathematics at City University of New York affiliated with Lehman College and the CUNY Graduate Center.[1] She is known for her research in Riemannian geometry, metric geometry, and Ricci curvature, as well as her work on the notion of intrinsic flat distance.[2]
Career
Sormani received her Ph.D. from New York University in 1996 under Jeff Cheeger.[3] She then took postdoctoral positions at Harvard University (under Shing-Tung Yau) and Johns Hopkins University (under William Minicozzi II).[4] Sormani now works at Lehman College in the City University of New York and at the CUNY Graduate Center.[1]
Awards and honors
In 2009, Sormani was an invited speaker at the Geometry Festival.[5]
In 2015, Sormani became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[6]
