Lisa Marquand

My name is Lisa (she/her/hers) and I have recently completed my PhD at Stony Brook University, under the supervision of Radu Laza.

I will be Courant Instructor at the Courant Institute, NYU starting Fall 2023.

I am interested in Algebraic Geometry, more specifically birational transformations of Hyperkähler manifolds, in particular those of OG10 type. I also study automorphisms of cubic fourfolds and K3 surfaces, using both geometric and Hodge Theoretic methods.

Here is my CV.

I am originally from Guernsey, a small English Island off of the coast of France. You may have heard of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Before coming to Stony Brook, I studied at the University of Edinburgh.

I want to advertise a new monthly inter-university seminar: ENYGMMa (Empowering New York Gender Minority Mathematicians). This is a seminar series for gender minority graduate students and postdocs in mathematics, aiming to facilitate the opportunities for all students through increased visibility of those underrepresented. If this sounds like something you are interested in, join the mailing list!
