Jennifer Wilson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She holds a B.Sc. from Queen's University (2009), an M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago (2011, 2014). Her research focuses on algebraic topology, geometry, and representation stability, with particular attention to configuration spaces, arithmetic groups, and homology stability phenomena. She has received a NSF CAREER Award (2022) to investigate stability phenomena in topology and arithmetic groups.
Wilson's work bridges geometric group theory, algebraic geometry, and combinatorics. She explores cohomology of groups like SLn(Z), Steinberg modules, and moduli spaces. Recent research includes studies on the Johnson filtration of mapping class groups and quantitative representation stability over linear groups. Her findings often reveal deep connections between algebraic structures and topological invariants.
- Awards: NSF CAREER Award (2022)
- Advising: Supervises doctoral candidates in algebraic topology and geometric group theory
- Grants: Active research funding from NSF for projects on arithmetic groups and cohomology stability
She collaborates with peers in the Algebraic Geometry and Topology research groups at the University of Michigan, contributing to interdisciplinary projects such as the study of hyperplane complements and their combinatorial-statistical properties over finite fields. Her work frequently involves developing new frameworks for analyzing stability patterns in algebraic and geometric contexts.
