معرفی
Shahla Ahdout is an Associate Professor of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Long Island University (LIU Post). She earned her B.S. from Arya-Mehr University and completed her Ph.D. in Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She has held prestigious research positions at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) in Berkeley, and served as an Assistant Professor at UC Berkeley prior to joining LIU in 1985.
Research Interests: Her primary research lies in the fields of Analysis and Geometry, with a focus on geometric analysis, spectral theory, and dynamical systems. She investigates topics such as Lagrangian manifolds, geodesic flows, convex planar regions, and spectral invariants, often bridging pure mathematics with deep structural insights from differential and symplectic geometry.
The publications indicate a strong trend toward geometric and spectral analysis, particularly in the study of convex domains and their spectral properties, as well as algebraic-topological structures in transformation groups and dynamical systems. Her work frequently appears in respected mathematical journals, reflecting sustained scholarly contribution in pure mathematics.
