Laura DeMarco is a Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University and holds the Radcliffe Alumnae Professorship at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. She is affiliated with the Department of Mathematics at Harvard's Science Center (Office 337). Her research focuses on dynamical systems, arithmetic geometry, and complex analysis, with a particular emphasis on algebraic dynamics and the interplay between geometry and number theory. DeMarco earned her Ph.D. in Mathematics from Harvard University in 2002, with a thesis on holomorphic families of rational maps. Her work explores topics such as preperiodic points, moduli spaces of dynamical systems, and arithmetic equidistribution. She has organized events like the Algebraic Dynamics Seminar and participates in conferences worldwide, including the 2025 Diophantine approximation conference in France. Her research publications analyze geometric and arithmetic properties of dynamical systems, such as the geometry of preperiodic points, bifurcation measures, and the classification of polynomial basins of infinity. Her studies often bridge algebraic geometry, complex dynamics, and number theory, contributing to foundational questions in arithmetic dynamics. DeMarco has collaborated extensively with researchers like N. M. Mavraki, H. Krieger, and X. Wang, advancing topics like bounded geometry in dynamical families and uniform results in the Manin-Mumford conjecture. Her work has been published in leading journals such as the Annals of Mathematics, Compositio Mathematica, and the Journal of the European Mathematical Society.
