Matilde Noemí Lalín is an Argentine-Canadian mathematician specializing in number theory and known for her work on L-functions, Mahler measure, and their connections.
[3] As a high school student, she represented Argentina twice in the International Mathematical Olympiad, in 1993 and 1995, earning a silver medal in 1995.
[3] Her dissertation, Some Relations of Mahler Measure with Hyperbolic Volumes and Special Values of L-Functions, was supervised there by Fernando Rodriguez-Villegas.
[3] Lalín is the 2022 winner of the Krieger–Nelson Prize of the Canadian Mathematical Society, "for her outstanding contributions to research in Number Theory and related areas".
[6] In 2024, she will become a fellow of the Association for Women in Mathematics, "For her ongoing contributions to the AWM, most notably her leadership role in the Women in Numbers Network and considerable contributions to its growth; her service to the International Mathematics Union Committee for Women; and for her ardent efforts towards making conferences more welcoming and accessible for researchers by actively advocating for childcare resources.
