Princeton University.
She is a 2012 MacArthur Fellow. Chudnovsky is a professor in the department of mathematics at Princeton University. After postdoctoral research at the Clay Mathematics Institute, she became an assistant professor at Princeton University in 2005, and moved to Columbia University in 2006.
By 2014 she was the Liu Family Professor of Industrial Engineering and Operations at Columbia.
She returned to Princeton as a professor of mathematics in 2015. She is a citizen of Israel and a permanent resident of the United States of America. They have a son named Rafael.
Chudnovsky"s contributions to graph theory include the proof of the strong perfect graph theorem (with Robertson, Seymour, and Thomas) characterizing perfect graphs as being exactly the graphs with no odd induced cycles of length at least 5 or their complements. Other research contributions of Chudnovsky include co-authorship of the first polynomial time algorithm for recognizing perfect graphs (degree 9), and of a structural characterization of the claw-free graphs.
In 2004 Chudnovsky was named one of the “Brilliant 10” by Popular Science magazine.
