Martha Precup

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis. My primary research interests are in algebraic geometry, combinatorics, and representation theory. Much of my work involves using Lie theory to strengthen and develop connections between combinatorics and geometry. I received my PhD from Notre Dame in 2013 under the direction of Sam Evens.

My research is supported by NSF CAREER grant DMS-2237057 and NSF grant DMS-1954001.
