She is contributing editor of the mathematical journal Real Analysis Exchange.
Awards and honors
Csörnyei won a 2002 Whitehead Prize and a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award that same year. She was also awarded the Philip Leverhulme Prize for Mathematics and Statistics in 2008 for her work in geometric measure theory.
She was an invited sectional speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians, in 2010.
