Alice Kerr

Alice Kerr is a Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (MPI-MIS) in Leipzig, Germany, within the Geometry, Groups, and Dynamics research group, where she conducts advanced research in geometric structures and group theory.

Her research program centers on geometric group theory with emphases on:

• Coarse geometry of non-positively curved spaces
• Generalizations of hyperbolic groups
• Rough isometries and coarse embeddings
• Group growth phenomena
• Acylindrically hyperbolic groups (including right-angled Artin groups, mapping class groups, and graph products)
• Coarse median spaces (encompassing trees, quasi-trees, and CAT(0) cube complexes)

Within the Geometry, Groups, and Dynamics research group, she actively contributes to collaborative investigations of large-scale geometric properties of algebraic structures, developing novel frameworks for understanding metric and combinatorial aspects of group actions.
