معرفی
Katrina Honigs is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University (SFU), located on the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples. Her research focuses on algebraic and arithmetic geometry, particularly varieties over fields of positive characteristic, Q-rational points, and derived categories of coherent sheaves. She earned her Ph.D. in Mathematics from UC Berkeley in 2015, preceded by an MASt from the University of Cambridge (2009) and a BA from Grinnell College (2008).
Her research explores topics such as derived equivalences, abelian varieties, and geometric structures like Kummer varieties. Recent work includes studies on symplectic involutions, theta characteristics, and the Brauer-Manin obstruction on Calabi-Yau threefolds. Honigs has taught courses at SFU (e.g., Math 818, 817, 240) and previously at the University of Utah and University of Oregon. She actively contributes to academic service, organizing conferences like the Mathematics Research Community on Derived Categories and co-organizing the SFU Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry seminar.
Honigs has authored or co-authored over 15 refereed articles and preprints, with a focus on categorical methods in algebraic geometry and arithmetic applications. Her outreach includes talks on Pythagorean triples and algebraic geometry for diverse audiences. Professional activities include participation in workshops at institutions like BIRS and Cornell, reflecting her engagement with both foundational and applied aspects of her field.
