Myrto Mavraki is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Toronto, with affiliations to both the St. George and Mississauga campuses. She specializes in arithmetic geometry and dynamical systems, particularly the theory of unlikely intersections and canonical heights in families of rational maps.

Her research focuses on deep connections between arithmetic geometry and dynamical systems. Key areas include equidistribution, variation of canonical heights, preperiodic points, and unlikely intersections in families of maps, especially on the projective line and in elliptic surfaces. These topics lie at the heart of modern arithmetic dynamics and have strong ties to Diophantine geometry and number theory.
The most recent publications show a sustained focus on canonical height variation, equidistribution, and the geometry of post-critically finite and preperiodic loci in parameter spaces. Collaborations with leading mathematicians such as Laura DeMarco, Harry Schmidt, and Hexi Ye reflect her central role in current developments in arithmetic dynamics. Her work combines algebraic, analytic, and arithmetic techniques to solve deep conjectures and establish foundational results.
Her research is supported by an NSERC Discovery Grant and an Early Career Supplement (2024–2029), and previously by an NSF grant (DMS-2200981).
She has mentored or collaborated with several prominent researchers and is likely supervising graduate students, though none are explicitly named. She does not list formal awards, but her publication record in top journals and prestigious fellowships indicate high recognition in the mathematical community.
Mavraki held the Benjamin Peirce Fellowship at Harvard (2020–2023), a highly competitive postdoctoral position, and prior positions at the University of Basel and Northwestern University. She earned her PhD from the University of British Columbia under Dragos Ghioca.
