Maria Chudnovsky, Columbia University, will deliver a MAA Invited
Address on Monday, January 5, 2009, 2:15 p.m. to 3:05 p.m. She will speak
on Perfect Graphs---Structure and Recognition. This

 Listen
to Maria Chudnovsky's talk with MAA Editorial Assistant Ryan Miller
about her address.
Maria Chudnovsky received her B.A. and M.Sc. form the Technion, and a PhD
from Princeton University in 2003. Currently she is an associate professor
at Columbia University. Before that she was a Veblen Research Instructor
at Princeton University and the IAS, and then an assistant professor at
Princeton. Until April 2008 she was 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 researcher that proved the Strong
Perfect Graph Theorem, a forty year old conjecture, which had been a well
known open problem in both graph theory and combinatoria optimization.
