Amie Wilkinson (born 1968) is an American mathematician and Professor of Mathematics at the University of Chicago.[1] Her research topics include smooth dynamical systems, ergodic theory, chaos theory, and semisimple Lie groups.[1] Wilkinson, in collaboration with Christian Bonatti and Sylvain Crovisier,[2][3] partially resolved the twelfth problem on Stephen Smale's list of mathematical problems for the 21st Century.[4]

Wilkinson was named a fellow of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) in 2014.[5] She was elected to the Academia Europaea[6] in 2019 and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2021.[7] In 2020, she received the Levi L. Conant Prize of the AMS for her overview article on the modern theory of Lyapunov exponents and their applications to diverse areas of dynamical systems and mathematical physics.[8][9]
