Dorina Mitrea

Dorina Irena-Rita Mitrea (born April 30, 1965) is a Romanian-American mathematician known for her work in harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, and the theory of distributions, and in mathematics education. She is a professor of mathematics and chair of the mathematics department at Baylor University.

Education and career
Mitrea earned a master's degree in 1987 from the University of Bucharest. Her thesis, Riemann’s Theorem for Simply Connected Riemann Surfaces, was supervised by Cabiria Andreian Cazacu. She completed her doctorate in 1996 from the University of Minnesota. Her dissertation, Layer Potential Operators and Boundary Value Problems for Differential Forms on Lipschitz Domains, was supervised by Eugene Barry Fabes.

Mitrea joined the University of Missouri mathematics faculty in 1996, and became M. & R. Houchins Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at the University of Missouri in 2016. She moved to Baylor as professor and chair in 2019.
