Estelle Lucille Basor (born 1947)[1] is an American mathematician interested in operator theory and the theory of random matrices. She is professor emeritus of mathematics at the California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly),[2] and deputy director of the American Institute of Mathematics.[3]

Education and career

Basor earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1969, and completed a Ph.D. there in 1975.[3] Her dissertation, supervised by Harold Widom, was Asymptotic Formulas for Toeplitz Determinants.[4]

She joined the Cal Poly faculty in 1976, and taught there until retiring in 2008.[3][2]

She served as an American Mathematical Society Council member at large from 2011 to 2013.[5]

Recognition

At Cal Poly, she was the 2005 winner of the Distinguished Research, Creative Activity and Professional Development Award, and a colloquium in her and professor Rami Shani’s honor was held in 2006.[6] She was elected to the 2018 class of fellows of the American Mathematical Society.[7]

Personal life

Basor's husband,[8] Kent E. Morrison, is also a mathematician who went to school with her at Santa Cruz, worked with her at Cal Poly, and is now associated with the American Institute of Mathematics.[9]
