Maria Chudnovsky (born January 6, 1977) is an Israeli mathematician.[1] She is professor in the departments of mathematics and of industrial engineering and operations research at Columbia University. She grew up in Russia and Israel, studying at the Technion,[2] and received her Ph.D. in 2003 from Princeton University under the supervision of Paul Seymour.[3] She moved to Columbia after being a Clay Mathematics Institute research fellow and assistant professor at Princeton.[2] In 2004 was named one of the “Brilliant 10” by Popular Science magazine.[4] Among her contributions to graph theory is developing a proof to the strong perfect graph theorem characterizing perfect graphs as being exactly the graphs with no odd induced cycles or their complements.[5][6]
