Ailsa Keating
Ailsa Macgregor Keating is a mathematician specialising in symplectic geometry and homological mirror symmetry.[1] She is a professor in the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Cambridge. Education and careerKeating grew up in Toulouse, France.[2] She read mathematics in Clare College, Cambridge from 2005 to 2009, earning a master's degree through Part III of the Mathematical Tripos.[3] She went on to graduate study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, completing her dissertation in 2014 with the dissertation Symplectic properties of Milnor fibres supervised by Paul Seidel.[4] She returned to Cambridge as a Junior Research Fellow in Trinity College in 2014,[3] at the same time doing postdoctoral research as a Simons Junior Fellow at Columbia University and a member of the Institute for Advanced Study. She became a lecturer at Cambridge in 2017[2] and was promoted to professor in 2023.[5] RecognitionKeating is the winner of the 2021 Berwick Prize of the London Mathematical Society, for her research using Dehn twists to study the symmetries of symplectic manifolds.[6] References
