Natasha Morrison

Natasha Morrison is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Victoria, Canada. She holds a PhD from the University of Oxford (supervised by Alex Scott) and completed her undergraduate studies at Durham University. Previously, she was a Research Fellow at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at IMPA in Brazil under Rob Morris.

Her research focuses on extremal and probabilistic combinatorics, including extremal graph theory, random graphs, bootstrap percolation, Ramsey Theory, and additive combinatorics. She teaches courses such as Matrix Algebra and Graph Theory. She actively collaborates with researchers globally and supervises PhD, Master's, and undergraduate students.

Morrison’s work has been published in leading journals like Journal of Combinatorial Theory, SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, and Duke Mathematical Journal. She is known for contributions to topics like graph saturation, cross-Sperner systems, and pseudorandom graphs. Her research often bridges theoretical insights with probabilistic methods.

Students supervised include Shannon Ogden (PhD), Ashna Wright (Master’s), and Akina Kuperus (Master’s). She collaborates with notable researchers such as Jonathan Noel, Shoham Letzter, and Rob Morris. Her academic journey includes postdoctoral work in Brazil and UK, reflecting her international research network.
