Corinna Ulcigrai
Corinna Ulcigrai (born January 3, 1980 in Trieste ) is an Italian mathematician who deals with dynamic systems , ergodic theory and chaos theory.
Ulcigrai studied mathematics at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa with a diploma (Laurea) in 2002. She then went to Princeton University , where she received her doctorate in 2007 under Jakow Grigorjewitsch Sinai ( On ergodic properties of flows on surfaces given by multi-valued hamiltonians ) . As a post-doctoral student she was at MSRI and in 2008 at the Institute for Advanced Study . She is a lecturer at Bristol University with an RCUK (UK Research Council) fellowship.
It deals with ergodic theory, for example, of interval exchange maps and dynamic flows on surfaces and with dynamics in Teichmüller spaces (modular spaces of surfaces). It proved that certain local Hamiltonian fluxes on surfaces are not mixing and thus solved a problem that had been open for a long time.
In 2012 she received the EMS Prize . In 2013 she was awarded the Whitehead Prize and received an ERC Starting Grant that same year.
