معرفی
Miriam Kuzbary is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Amherst College, specializing in geometric topology and knot theory. She holds a PhD from Rice University and has held postdoctoral positions supported by the NSF. Her research explores intersections between group theory and topology, particularly in low-dimensional spaces and knot concordance. She is actively involved in organizing conferences like the Five College Geometry Topology Seminar and the Links in Dimensions 3 and 4 Conference at ICERM. Kuzbary is also committed to inclusive pedagogy, adhering to Federico Ardila’s axioms, and has received multiple teaching awards, including the Class of 1934 CIOS Honor Roll. She has advised numerous students on research projects, blending topology with interdisciplinary applications like textile structures and music theory.
