Emily Cliff

Lecturer in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sydney.

I'm a lecturer and a member of the Algebra research group. I'm interested in geometric representation theory, especially chiral and factorization algebras.

I completed my DPhil in 2015 at the University of Oxford. I was supervised by Kobi Kremnitzer, and supported by an NSERC post-graduate scholarship and by the Churchill Society of Edmonton. From 2015 to 2016, I was a junior research fellow in geometry and representation theory, also at the University of Oxford, supported by EPSRC, and then from 2016 to 2019 I was a J.L. Doob Research Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana--Champaign. My mentor was Tom Nevins.

I have an MSc in mathematics from the University of Toronto, where I worked with Dror Bar-Natan and Joel Kamnitzer. Before that, I studied math and linguistics at the University of Alberta.
