Education and employment
editToro was born in 1964 in Colombia,[2][4] and attended the Lycée Français Louis Pasteur in Bogotá.[5] She competed for Colombia in the 1981 International Mathematical Olympiad,[6] and earned a bachelor's degree from the National University of Colombia.[7] In 1992, she was awarded her PhD at Stanford University, under the supervision of Leon Simon.[8] After short-term positions at the Institute for Advanced Study, University of California, Berkeley, and University of Chicago, she joined the University of Washington faculty in 1996.[1] Since August 2022, Toro serves as the director of Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (formerly MSRI).[4] She will maintain her tenure at the University of Washington throughout her term.[9]
Honors and awards
editToro was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2010.[10] She became a Guggenheim Fellow in 2015.[2] She was elected as a member of the 2017 class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to geometric measure theory, potential theory, and free boundary theory".[11] At the University of Washington, she was the Robert R. & Elaine F. Phelps Professor in Mathematics from 2012 to 2016[12] and is currently the Craig McKibben and Sarah Merner Professor. Toro was named MSRI Chancellor's Professor for 2016–17.[13] She was awarded the 2020 Blackwell-Tapia Prize.[14] She was elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) in 2020.[15] Toro was awarded the ICMAM Prize 2022 of the research organization ICMAM Latin America. [16] Toro was honored as the AWM/MAA Falconer Lecturer in 2023.[17]
