معرفی
Megumi Harada is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McMaster University. She holds affiliations with the Faculty of Science and has been actively involved in research and teaching. Her education includes an A.B. Summa cum laude from Harvard University and a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley.
Harada's research focuses on pure mathematics, particularly algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, and combinatorics. She investigates complex structures such as Hessenberg varieties, cohomology rings, and Newton-Okounkov bodies, often exploring connections to representation theory and symplectic geometry. Her recent work includes studies on geometric vertex decomposition, Gröbner bases, and applications to problems in clinical research, such as nephrotic syndrome and blood group antigens.
Her teaching activities span various calculus courses (e.g., ARTSSCI 1D06A/B) and advanced topics like Directed Reading (MATH 798) and Linear Algebra (MATH 2R03). Her scholarly contributions include over 40 publications in prestigious journals such as Transformation Groups, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, and Scientific Reports.
Harada has collaborated on interdisciplinary projects, including clinical studies published in Internal Medicine and Transfusion. Her articles often address theoretical frameworks with practical implications, such as the impact of genetic mutations on blood antigens and treatments for kidney diseases.
