Eugenia Malinnikova (born 23 April 1974) is a mathematician, winner of the 2017 Clay Research Award which she shared with Aleksandr Logunov "in recognition of their introduction of a novel geometric combinatorial method to study doubling properties of solutions to elliptic eigenvalue problems".[1]
As a high school student, she competed three times in the International Mathematical Olympiad. She is the highest-scoring female contestant in IMO history. She has 3 Gold medals in IMO, awarded in 1989 (41/42 points), IMO 1990 (42/42) and IMO 1991 (42/42).[2] She is a member of the International Mathematical Olympiad Hall of Fame.[3]
