Maria Chudnovsky joined the IEOR Department at Columbia University in 2006. She received her B.A. and M.S. from the Technion, and a Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2003. Currently she is a Clay Mathematics Institute research fellow. Her research interests are in graph theory and combinatorial optimization. Recently she was a part of a team of four researches that proved the strong perfect graph theorem, a 40-year-old conjecture that had been a well-known open problem in both graph theory and combinatorial optimization. For this work, she was awarded the Ostrowski foundation research stipend. In 2004 she was named one of the "brilliant ten" young scientists by the Popular Science magazine.
