Rohini Ramadas
June 7, 2017
Rohini Ramadas just completed a Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Michigan. This summer, she will start a postdoc at Harvard University.
Rohini is interested in the geometry and combinatorics of moduli spaces, as well as in complex dynamics and tropical geometry. Before becoming a mathematician, she was a biologist doing research in evolutionary cell biology.
During her visit to MPI MiS, she is working with Rob Silversmith on a project involving labeled trees and the symmetric group. She is also learning about the research of the Nonlinear Algebra and Combinatorial Algebraic Geometry groups. She enjoyed the Chow lectures and the conference Interactions between algebra and the sciences: it was interesting to hear about her former field of study from a mathematical perspective.
