Margaret M. Robinson

Margaret Maher Robinson is an American mathematician specializing in number theory and the theory of zeta functions. She is the Julia and Sarah Ann Adams Professor of Mathematics at Mount Holyoke College.[1]

Robinson graduated from Bowdoin College in 1979, and earned her Ph.D. in 1986 from Johns Hopkins University.[2] Her dissertation, On the Complex Powers Associated with the Twisted Cases of the Determinant and the Pfaffian, was supervised by Jun-Ichi Igusa.[3] She taught briefly at Hampshire College before joining the Mount Holyoke faculty.[2]

In 2013 she was one of the winners of the Deborah and Franklin Haimo Awards for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics. Her award citation credited her undergraduate mentorship through Research Experiences for Undergraduates, and her intensive summer programs for young women in number theory.[2]
