Maryam Mirza Khani, Harvard University MSc and PhD in Mathematics, is a member of Iran’s mathematical Olympiad team, who won gold medal in 1995 with the highest possible point in the world.
In 2005, when still under 30, she was giving lectures in Princeton University. Popular Science, a science journal had nominated Mirza Khani as one of 10 ‘brilliant minds’ in North America.
Mirza Khani was selected for her contribution to calculation of geometrically curved space volumes. James Carlson from Clay Mathematics Institute has noted that Mirzakhani is excellent in finding new connections and she can easily come up with a profound theory through a simple example.
