Mary Claire Pugh is an applied mathematician known for her research on thin films, including the thin-film equation and Hele-Shaw flow. She is a professor of mathematics at the University of Toronto and was awarded the Faculty of Arts and Science's Outstanding Teaching Award in 2025. [1] [2]

Pugh obtained her BA in mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley [2] and completed her Ph.D. in 1993 at the University of Chicago. Her dissertation, Dynamics of Interfaces of Incompressible Fluids: The Hele-Shaw Problem, was supervised by Peter Constantin  [ de ]. [3] Before moving to Toronto, she worked at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University [4] and then as a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania, where she won a Sloan Research Fellowship in 1999.
