Professor Maria Chudnovsky Wins MacArthur “Genius” Grant

Maria Chudnovsky, Associate Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Operational Research (IEOR), and Associate Editor of the Journal of Graph Theory has won a MacArthur Fellowship - a five-year $500,000 “genius” grant to individuals who show exceptional creativity in their work and the prospect for still more in the future.

“I am incredibly excited and honored, but mostly shocked, to be recognized in such an extraordinary way,” says Chudnovsky.

Here is a collection of papers authored by Professor Maria Chudnovsky:

• Excluding Induced Subdivisions of the Bull and Related Graphs
• The Structure of Bull-Free Perfect Graphs
• Large cliques or stable sets in graphs with no four-edge path and no five-edge path in the complement
• An approximate version of Hadwiger's conjecture for claw-free graphs
