Julie Bergner

Julie Bergner is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Virginia. She is currently on sabbatical during 2024-25 as a Visiting Fellow at Clare Hall, University of Cambridge. Her research focuses on Homotopy Theory, Algebraic Topology, Algebraic K-Theory, and Category Theory, with a particular emphasis on higher category theory and homotopical algebraic structures.

Her work spans 2-Segal objects, model categories, Waldhausen constructions, and applications to topological field theories. She has received NSF CAREER awards for her research on equivariant topological field theories and higher cluster categories. Her recent publications explore combinatorial models, enriched categories, and homotopy limits in the context of functor calculus and higher structures.

Julie Bergner contributes to mathematical exposition through articles on writing papers in the mathematical sciences and homotopy theory applications. She is actively involved in the department's topology seminar and supports collaborative learning initiatives. Her research has implications in algebraic topology, category theory, and their interdisciplinary applications.
