Maryam Mirzakhani (Persian: مریم میرزاخانی, pronounced[mæɾˈjæmmiːɾzɑːxɑːˈniː]; 12 May 1977 – 14 July 2017) was an Iranian[5][4] mathematician and a professor of mathematics at Stanford University.[6][7] Her research topics included Teichmüller theory, hyperbolic geometry, ergodic theory, and symplectic geometry.[5] On 13 August 2014, Mirzakhani was honored with the Fields Medal, the most prestigious award in mathematics,[8][9] becoming the first woman to win the prize, as well as the first Iranian.[10] The award committee cited her work in "the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces".[11]
On 14 July 2017, Mirzakhani died of breast cancer at the age of 40.[12]
