Alina Vdovina is a Professor of Mathematics at The City College of New York (CCNY) and a member of the doctoral faculty at the CUNY Graduate Center. Her office is located at North Academic Center 8/201, with an alternative listing showing MR 333, and she can be reached at (212) 650-5161 or via email at avdovina@ccny.cuny.edu.
Dr. Vdovina's research focuses on Geometric Group Theory and its interactions with Dynamical systems, K-theory of C*-algebras, and Knot Theory. Her work bridges multiple mathematical disciplines, exploring the connections between algebraic structures, geometric representations, and topological properties. She has made significant contributions to the understanding of higher-rank graphs, cube complexes, and their applications in operator algebras.
Her recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on the interplay between geometric structures and algebraic properties, with particular attention to how group-theoretic concepts manifest in topological and combinatorial settings. Her work spans theoretical developments in group theory, applications to operator algebras, and connections to discrete mathematics.
Dr. Vdovina is actively involved in mentoring students, with recent successes including Kadar He moving to the PhD program at CUNY's Graduate Center, Nicholas Videen transitioning from musician to CCNY mathematics graduate, and Joshua Bourne-Inniss advancing from community college to CCNY mathematics graduate degree.
Her research presentations include "Groups acting on buildings and their subgroups" at GAGTA 2025 and "C*-algebras coming from buildings and their K-theory" at the Conference on Analytic Group Theory in Austin, Texas.
