Maryanthe Elizabeth Malliaris is a professor of mathematics at the University of Chicago,[1] a specialist in model theory.
[4] She graduated from Harvard in 2001 with a concentration in mathematics,[4] and earned her PhD in 2009 from the University of California, Berkeley under the supervision of Thomas Scanlon.
[5] In her dissertation and postdoctoral research, Malliaris studied unstable model theory and its connection, via characteristic sequences, to graph theoretic concepts such as the Szemerédi regularity lemma.
[7][8][9] Malliaris won a Kurt Gödel Research Prize in 2010 for her work in unstable model theory.
[10] In 2017, she and Saharon Shelah shared the Hausdorff Medal of the European Set Theory Society for their joint papers.
