Ailsa Keating

Ailsa Macgregor Keating is a French and British mathematician specialising in symplectic geometry and homological mirror symmetry. She is a lecturer in the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Cambridge.

Education and career

Keating grew up in Toulouse, France.[1] She read mathematics in Clare College, Cambridge from 2005 to 2009, earning a master's degree through Part III of the Mathematical Tripos.[2] 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.[3]

She returned to Cambridge as a Junior Research Fellow in Trinity College in 2014,[2] 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.[1]

Recognition

Keating 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.[4]
