Tamanna Chatterjee

Tamanna Chatterjee is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of Notre Dame, mentored by Sam Evens. Previously, she held postdoctoral positions at the University of Georgia (2021-2023) and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics (2023). She earned her PhD from Louisiana State University (2016-2021) under Pramod N. Achar, an MSc from Ramkrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational Research Institute (2014-2016), and a BSc from the University of Burdwan (2010-2013).

Her research focuses on geometric representation theory, particularly parity sheaves in positive characteristic on graded Lie algebras. Current projects include Fourier transform analysis on graded Lie algebras and relative Weyl group actions on partial Springer sheaves. She seeks to extend results from characteristic 0 (e.g., Lusztig's work) into positive characteristic frameworks.

Selected publications explore parity sheaves, Fourier transform techniques, and collaborative work with Laura Rider and Pramod N. Achar. Her work bridges algebraic geometry and representation theory, emphasizing characteristic-independent methodologies.

Teaching includes Honors Algebra IV at Notre Dame. Office: Hayes-Healy Bldg 202. No awards explicitly listed, but her research contributions reflect significant scholarly engagement.
