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