{{short description|American mathematician}} '''Barbara Diane MacCluer''' is an American mathematician. She is a former professor of mathematics at the [[University of Virginia]]{{r|cv}} and now a [[professor emeritus]] there. {{r|emeritus}} Her research specialty is in [[operator theory]] and [[composition operator]]s. She is known for the books she has written on this subject and related areas of [[functional analysis]].
==Education and career== MacCluer is the daughter of George M. Richards, a research chemist and attorney. She is married to mathematician Thomas Kriete. {{r|richards}} She graduated from [[Michigan State University]] in 1975 and earned her Ph.D. there in 1983. {{r|cv}} Her dissertation, ''Holomorphic Self-Maps of the Unit Ball: Iteration and Composition Operators'', was supervised by [[Joel Shapiro (mathematician)|Joel Shapiro]].{{r|mgp}}
She worked at the University of Virginia from 1983 to 1986, at the [[University of South Carolina]] from 1986 to 1987 and at the [[University of Richmond]] from 1987 to 1995. She returned to the University of Virginia in 1995. {{r|cv}}
