Emily Witt is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Kansas (KU), affiliated with the Institute for Information Sciences. She holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Michigan (2011) and a B.S. in Mathematics with Honors and Computer Science specialization from the University of Chicago (2005). Her research focuses on commutative algebra and its intersections with algebraic geometry, representation theory, and singularity theory.
- Professional Appointments: Associate Professor at KU (2020–present), Michler Scholar at Cornell University (2022–23), Keeler Intra-University Professor (2021–22).
- Grants: NSF CAREER Award (2020–25), Simons Foundation Collaboration Grant (2018–21).
Her research interests include local cohomology, Frobenius endomorphism, D-module theory, and computational algebra. She has developed software packages for Macaulay2, such as FrobeniusThresholds and TestIdeals.
Awards include the Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize (2022–23), Morrison Teaching Award (2019), and multiple grants supporting her work in commutative algebra.
She advises Ph.D. students and mentors postdocs while maintaining active roles in professional service, including editorial work and organizing conferences like the Women in Commutative Algebra Workshop. Her teaching spans courses in algebra, cryptography, and analysis.
