Nira (Richter) Dyn (Hebrew: נירה דין; born 1942) is an Israeli mathematician who studied geometric modeling, subdivision surfaces, approximation theory, and image compression. She is a professor emeritus of applied mathematics at Tel Aviv University,[1] and has been called a "pioneer and leading researcher in the subdivision community".[2]
Education and career
Dyn earned a bachelor's degree from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in 1965. She went on to graduate study at the Weizmann Institute of Science, where she earned a master's degree in 1967 and completed her doctorate in 1970.[1] Her dissertation, Optimal and Minimum Norm Approximations to Linear Functionals in Hilbert Spaces, and their application to Numerical Integration, was supervised by Philip Rabinowitz.[3] After postdoctoral research in the Institute of Fundamental Studies at the University of Rochester, she joined the Tel Aviv faculty in 1972, and retired in 2010.[1]
Recognition
Dyn was an invited speaker at the 2006 International Congress of Mathematicians, in the section on numerical analysis and scientific computing.[4]

Dyn is the author of:
- Stochastic Models in Biology (as Nira Richter-Dyn, with Narendra S. Goel, Academic Press, 1974)[5]
- Approximation of Set-valued Functions: Adaptation of Classical Approximation Operators (with Elza Farkhi and Alona Mokhov, Imperial College Press, 2014)[6]
