Alexandra Kjuchukova is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Notre Dame, affiliated with the College of Science. Her research focuses on topology with an emphasis on knot theory, branched covers, and geometric structures in low-dimensional topology. She holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Pennsylvania, an M.F.A. in Poetry from New York University, and a B.A. in Mathematics from Harvard College.
Education:
- Ph.D., Mathematics, University of Pennsylvania (2015)
- M.F.A., Poetry, New York University (2010)
- A.B., Mathematics, Harvard College (2008)
Research Interests: Dr. Kjuchukova’s work explores topological branched covers of manifolds, knot invariants, and geometric topology. She investigates relationships between knot groups, bridge numbers, and meridional ranks, with applications to 4-manifold topology and exotic structures. Recent projects include studies on dihedral covers, Coxeter quotients, and the Gordian graph filtration.
Publications: Her work appears in journals like Advances in Mathematics, Communications in Analysis and Geometry, and Mathematische Annalen. Key themes include dihedral branched covers, symmetric quotients of knot groups, and the interplay between knot theory and algebraic geometry.
Affiliations & Office: Based at 152A Hurley Bldg, she contributes to the Regular Faculty roster in the Notre Dame Mathematics Department. No awards are explicitly listed in her profile.
