Roya Beheshti Zavareh is a Professor of Mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis, specializing in Algebraic Geometry. She earned her Ph.D. from MIT (2003) and holds a B.S. from Sharif University of Technology (1999). Her research focuses on rational curves, Fano manifolds, hypersurfaces, and moduli spaces, with notable contributions to birational geometry and arithmetic geometry. She has held academic positions at Washington University since 2007, including roles as Assistant Professor (2007–2013) and Associate Professor (2013–present). Her editorial roles include Communications in Algebra and Mathematische Zeitschrift. She co-organizes major conferences like the Western Algebraic Geometry Symposium and the I-70 Algebraic Geometry Symposium. Her grants include NSF funding (DMS-2101935, $203,917) and Simons Collaboration Grants. Awards include the Washington University Teaching Award (2018) and medals from the International Mathematical Olympiad (silver, 1994) and Informatics Olympiad (bronze, 1995). Her recent work explores geometric invariants of Fano varieties, positivity conditions in moduli spaces, and rational curves in positive characteristic. She actively collaborates with institutions globally and contributes to academic service, including roles on NSF review panels and leadership in the AWM Human Rights Committee.
