瑪麗安·米爾札哈尼在黎曼曲面的研究上提出許多新的突破,她在早期的研究中提出了一個特定虧格模空間體積的公式,是一個其邊界元素數量的多項式,這也讓她可以為馬克西姆·孔采維奇和愛德華·維騰提出的有關模空間上tautology class相交數的公式提供新的證明,也證明了緊緻雙曲面上簡單封閉測地線數量成長趨勢的漸近公式,歸納了球面的the three geodesics理論。她後來的研究專注於模空間中的Teichmüller動態,最特別的是她證明了威廉·瑟斯頓提出,泰希米勒空間(Teichmüller space)上的地震地圖(Earthquake map)流都是遍歷系統的猜想。在2014年時,配合Amir Mohammadi提供的資料,米爾札哈尼和Alex Eskin證明了模空間中的複數測地線以及閉包為正則(regular)的,不是非正則(irregular)或碎形的。

人物評價
瑪麗安·米爾札哈尼在黎曼曲面及其模空間下的動力學及幾何學中做出了傑出貢獻(Maryam Mirzakhani is awarded the Fields Medal for her outstanding contributions to the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces)。(菲爾茲獎評)
瑪麗安是一位傑出的數學理論家,也是一個謙虛的人,她接受榮譽只是希望它能鼓勵其他人追隨她的道路。她作為學者和榜樣的貢獻是重大而持久的(Maryam was a brilliant mathematical theorist, and also a humble person who accepted honors only with the hope that it might encourage others to follow her path. Her contributions as both a scholar and a role model are significant and enduring)。(時任史丹福大學校長Marc Tessier-Lavigne評)
這位富有創造力的科學家(瑪麗安·米爾札哈尼)和謙虛的人的空前才華,使伊朗的名字在世界科學論壇上引起共鳴,是展示伊朗婦女和年輕人在各種國際舞台上,通往榮耀高峰的道路上的偉大意願的轉折點(unprecedented brilliance of this creative scientist and modest human being, who made Iran’s name resonate in the world’s scientific forums, was a turning point in showing the great will of Iranian women and young people on the path towards reaching the peaks of glory … in various international arenas)。(時任伊朗總統哈桑·魯哈尼評)
