Gordana Matic is a Croatian-American mathematician[1] who works as a professor at the University of Georgia.[2] Her research concerns low-dimensional topology and contact geometry.

Matic earned her doctorate from the University of Utah in 1986, under the supervision of Ronald J. Stern,[3] and worked as a C.L.E. Moore instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining the University of Georgia faculty.[4][5]

Matic was the Spring 2012 speaker in the University of Texas Distinguished Women in Mathematics Lecture Series.[6] In 2014, she was elected as a fellow of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to low-dimensional and contact topology."[7]
