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]
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]
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]
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]
