Benjamin Gammage is a Benjamin Peirce Fellow in the Department of Mathematics at Harvard University. Beginning in Summer 2025, he will transition to an Assistant Professor position at the University of Toronto. His academic journey includes a PhD from UC Berkeley under David Nadler, where his thesis focused on microlocal sheaves and mirror symmetry, and an undergraduate degree with honors from the University of Chicago. Dr. Gammage's research centers on quantum geometry, exploring the deep connections between geometry, algebra, and mathematical physics. His work particularly focuses on homological mirror symmetry and 3d mirror symmetry, investigating how quantum field theories reveal profound relationships between seemingly different geometric spaces. He has made significant contributions to understanding how the structure of SYZ fibrations mediates mirror symmetry and how perverse schobers can categorify aspects of geometric representation theory. His research has followed a clear trajectory from foundational work on mirror symmetry for affine hypersurfaces toward increasingly sophisticated structures in 3-dimensional field theories. The most recent publications demonstrate a progression from studying 1- and 2-dimensional quantum field theories toward fully categorified 3d mirror symmetry, revealing deep structural connections between representation theory and symplectic geometry. 2023-present: Principal Investigator, NSF DMS grant #2305257 2020: NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship 2019: Kenneth Ribet and Lisa Goldberg Award in Algebra 2015: NSF Graduate Research Fellowship 2014: Paul R. Cohen Prize Dr. Gammage has served as a minor thesis advisor for Grant Barkley (2022) and has been actively involved in mentoring through Harvard's Graduate Admissions Committee and as a Math Includes mentor. His research is supported by significant grant funding, including his current NSF grant. He has organized numerous seminars including the Open Neighborhood Seminar, Relative Langlands seminar, and various topics in mirror symmetry and string theory. His collaborative work spans multiple institutions, with frequent collaborations at institutions including the University of Toronto, UC Berkeley, and various international research centers. His research program bridges pure mathematics with theoretical physics, creating new frameworks for understanding geometric structures through quantum field theory perspectives.
