Short description: Mathematician

Gordana Todorov (born July 24, 1949)[1] is a mathematician working in noncommutative algebra, representation theory, Artin algebras, and cluster algebras. She is a professor of mathematics at Northeastern University.[2]

Biography

Todorov earned her Ph.D. in 1978, at Brandeis University. Her dissertation, Almost Split Sequences in the Representation Theory of Certain Classes of Artin Algebras, was supervised by Maurice Auslander.[3]

Todorov is married to mathematician Kiyoshi Igusa,[4] with whom she is a frequent co-author.[5] The Igusa–Todorov functions[6] and Igusa–Todorov endomorphism algebras[7] are named for their joint work. Todorov is also the namesake of Todorov's theorem on preprojective partitions,[8] and the Gentle–Todorov theorem on abelian categories.[9]
