Brita Nucinkis

Brita Nucinkis is a Professor of Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics, Royal Holloway, University of London. Her research focuses on geometric group theory, operator algebras, and algebraic topology, particularly exploring properties of Thompson groups, mapping class groups, and semigroup C*-algebras.

• Current Projects: Studying generalized Thompson's groups with tools from geometric group theory and operator algebra (EPSRC-funded, 2022), metric and cohomological properties of generalized Thompson groups (Royal Society-funded, 2018-2019), and collaborative work with Dr. L. Reeves and Professor J. Burillo.
• Research Outputs: Authored 32 publications, including recent work on sigma invariants, irrational-slope Thompson groups, and nuclearity of semigroup C*-algebras.
• Collaborations: Worked with notable mathematicians like José Burillo and Nansen Petrosyan.
