The Hubbard–Masur theorem is named after Masur and John H. Hubbard. Masur was an invited speaker at the 1994 International Congress of Mathematicians in Zürich. and is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.

Along with Yair Minsky, Masur is one of the pioneers of the study of curve complex geometry. He also contributed to the understanding of the convergence of geodesic rays in Teichmüller theory.

In 2009, a conference of mathematicians honored Masur's 60th birthday in France.

Masur was a Ph.D. student of Albert Marden at the University of Minnesota-Minneapolis.
