Julia (she/her)

Hi, I am Julia! I am doing a PhD at University of Edinburgh, in quantum algebra. I wish to help improving inclusivity in academia, and I am always excited by opportunities to do so! Outside of academia, I love playing theatre, dancing and handcraft!

Mia (she/her)

I am a PhD student at the Algebra, Geometry and Quantum Fields CDT, most recently looking at derived categories of twisted sheaves and Bridgeland stability conditions on surfaces. Before this, I was a mathmo at the University of Cambridge, where I ran the Emmy Noether Society. Outside of math, I enjoy Cantopop music, and my hyperfixations are Kirby and Chiikawa.

Sophie (she/her)

I was born and raised in Scotland, and have been at Edinburgh for my entire academic journey! I am a PhD student on the Algebra, Geometry and Quantum CDT, looking at Bridgeland stability conditions on triangulated categories. In my spare time I do all kinds of dancing (tap, ballet, ballroom, ceilidh) and all kinds of singing (choral, shower, et cetera). I also enjoy playing with my cat in the garden – either I am training her or she is training me, and I haven’t figured out which yet.

Hi, I am Alexandra and I am a PhD student working in noncommutative algebra. Before starting my PhD, I completed my undergraduate and Master’s degrees at the University of Manchester. Outside mathematics, I enjoy reading, travelling, and doing crafty activities.
