Rachel Webb

Rachel Webb is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Cornell University. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan (2020). Her research focuses on algebro-geometric problems in Gromov-Witten theory, particularly moduli spaces of curves and stable maps, with an emphasis on understanding invariants via geometric invariant theory (GIT) and representation theory. She explores new moduli constructions to deepen geometric insights into algebraic varieties.

Education: Ph.D. in Mathematics (2020), University of Michigan.

Research interests include algebraic geometry, moduli theory, enumerative geometry, and connections to theoretical physics. Her work integrates stability conditions, orbifold structures, and linear sigma models to analyze geometric invariants.

Teaching includes courses such as Abstract Algebra (MATH 3340), Calculus I (MATH 1110), and supervised research/reading programs (MATH 4900/4901).

No specific scientific awards are listed in the provided information. Her research has been published in journals like Forum of Mathematics, Sigma, Advances in Mathematics, and International Mathematics Research Notices.
