معرفی
Sema Salur is a Full Professor of Mathematics at the University of Rochester since 2016, previously serving as Associate Professor (2009–2016) within the Department of Mathematics at the School of Arts and Sciences. She holds a PhD from Michigan State University (2000) and has held visiting positions at Princeton University (2013, 2019), Harvard University (2016), MSRI (2004–2007, 2016), and Cornell University (2015 as Ruth I. Michler Fellow). Her research focuses on differential geometry, geometric analysis, and mathematical physics, particularly exploring manifolds with special holonomy (e.g., G₂, Spin(7)), calibrated geometries, and applications in mirror symmetry and M-theory.
Salur’s work includes studies on contact structures on G₂-manifolds, deformations of special Lagrangian submanifolds, and geometric flows. Her publications often intersect with theoretical physics, such as exploring dualities in string theory. She teaches courses like Multidimensional Calculus (MTH 164) and Special Topics in Differential Geometry (MTH 557). Awards include the prestigious Ruth I. Michler Fellowship (2015).
Her research collaborations involve scholars like Hyunjoo Cho, Albert J. Todd, and Osvaldo Santillan. While no lab affiliations are explicitly stated, her work emphasizes interdisciplinary connections between pure mathematics and high-energy physics.
