Hi! I’m Sierra and I am a fourth year PhD Student at Georgia Tech. My research is in symplectic topology and my advisor is John Etnyre. My interests are in low-dimensional topology, specifically 4-manifolds which have the structure of a Lefschetz fibration. I enjoy studying properties of genus-2 and genus-3 Lefschetz fibrations.
I am currently serving on the Grad Student Council in the Math Department with Griffin Edwards and Dan Minahan. I co-organize the Geometry Topology Student Seminar held every Wednesday from 2-3pm in SKiles 006. Please email me, Dan Minahan or Tom Rodewald if you would like to present.
I am supported by the President’s Fellowship, Goizueta Fellowship, and the GT-UCEM Fellowship.
My hobbies include reading, walking, knitting, and doing handstands.
