Howard Masur
Howard Masur, in Oberwolfach (2014).
Howard Alan Masur is an American mathematician who works on topology, geometry and combinatorial group theory.[1][2]
The Hubbard–Masur theorem is named after Masur and John H. Hubbard.[3] Masur was an invited speaker at the 1994 International Congress of Mathematicians in Zürich.[4] and is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[5]
Along with Yair Minsky, Masur is one of the pioneers of the study of "curve complex" geometry.[6] He also contributed to the understanding of the convergence of geodesic rays in Teichmüller theory.[7]
In 2009, a conference of mathematicians honored Masur's 60th birthday in France.[8]
Masur was a student of Albert Marden at the University of Minnesota-Minneapolis.[9]
