Cherry Ng
Assistant Professor
Cherry works in algebraic topology, a field that studies spaces with a flexible notion of size and distance. One of her research interests is computing invariants for spaces that have symmetry governed by a group action. Another area of interest is the structure of model categories on lattices. Studying these model categories draws from both abstract category theory ideas and concrete combinatorial techniques, which is a surefire recipe for fun.
Education and Degrees
Cherry received her PhD from University of Colorado Boulder in 2022 under the guidance of Agnès Beaudry, and then spent three years as a postdoctoral fellow at Northwestern University. In her spare time, Cherry likes to bake and practice calligraphy.
