Corinna Ulcigrai
Corinna Ulcigrai (born 3 January 1980, Trieste) is an Italian mathematician working on dynamical systems. With Krzysztof Frączek in 2013, Ulcigrai is known for proving that in the Ehrenfest model (a mathematical abstraction of billiards with an infinite array of rectangular obstacles, used to model gas diffusion) most trajectories are not ergodic. Education and career Ulcigrai obtained her Ph.D. in 2007 from Princeton University with Yakov Sinai as her thesis advisor. She has worked at the University of Bristol, United Kingdom. and is currently a professor at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. Recognition Ulcigrai was awarded the European Mathematical Society Prize in 2012, and the Whitehead Prize in 2013. In 2020, Ulcigrai was the winner of the Michael Brin Prize in Dynamical Systems The Michael Brin Prize in Dynamical Systems, abbreviated as the Brin Prize, is awarded to mathematicians who have made outstanding advances in the field of dynamical systems and are within 14 y ...

Corinna Ulcigrai On Chaotic Properties Of Area Preserving Flows In 2019
Corinna or Korinna ( grc, Κόριννα, Korinna) was an ancient Greek lyric poet from Tanagra in Boeotia. Although ancient sources portray her as a contemporary of Pindar (born ), not all modern scholars accept the accuracy of this tradition. When she lived has been the subject of much debate since the early twentieth century, proposed dates ranging from the beginning of the fifth century to the late third century BC. Corinna's works survive only in fragments: three substantial sections of poems are preserved on second-century AD papyri from Egypt; several shorter pieces survive in quotations by ancient grammarians. They focus on local Boeotian legends, and are distinctive for their mythological innovations. Corinna's poetry often reworks well-known myths to include details not known from any other sources. Though respected in her hometown, Tanagra, and popular in ancient Rome, modern critics have often regarded her as parochial and dull; her poetry is nonetheless of interest ...
