Hee Oh

She graduated with a bachelor's degree from Seoul National University in 1992 and obtained her Ph.D. from Yale University in 1997 under the guidance of Gregory Margulis. She held several faculty positions, including ones at Princeton University, California Institute of Technology and Brown University, before joining the Department of Mathematics at Yale University in 2013 as the first female tenured professor in Mathematics there. She served as Vice President of the American Mathematical Society, February 1, 2021 – January 31, 2024. ==Work==

She has worked extensively on counting and equidistribution for Apollonian circle packings, Sierpinski carpets and Schottky dances. Her recent work continues to be centered around the exploration and use of lie groups. More specifically, working with representations by using discrete sub groups, like Anosov Groups. Her research explores how these sub groups are useful in measuring characteristics of dynamical systems like maximal entropy. ==Honours==

Hee Oh was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad in 2010, and gave a joint invited address at the 2012 AMS-MAA Joint Mathematics Meeting. In 2012 she became an inaugural fellow of the American Mathematical Society. She is the 2015 recipient of the Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize in Mathematics. In 2017, she was named a Guggenheim fellow. In 2018, she received the Ho-Am Prize for Science. In 2024, she was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She served on the Fields Medal committee at the 2018 ICM in Rio. She is on the Abel Prize committee for 2024-2026. ==Selected publications==
