Christina Sormani
Christina Sormani is a professor of mathematics at City University of New York affiliated with Lehman College and the CUNY Graduate Center. She is known for her research in Riemannian geometry, metric geometry, and Ricci curvature, as well as her work on the notion of intrinsic flat distance.
Sormani received her Ph.D. from New York University in 1996 under Jeff Cheeger. She then took postdoctoral positions at Harvard University (under Shing-Tung Yau) and Johns Hopkins University (under William Minicozzi II). Sormani now works at Lehman College in the City University of New York and at the CUNY Graduate Center.
Awards and honors
In 2009, Sormani was an invited speaker at the Geometry Festival.
In 2015, Sormani became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
