Katy Craig is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), within the College of Letters and Science. Her research focuses on nonlinear partial differential equations, optimal transport theory, calculus of variations, and numerical analysis. She leads the NSF-funded CAREER project on Optimal Transport and Dynamics in Machine Learning and co-organized the Optimal Transport Graduate Summer School at UCSB in 2025. Dr. Craig's academic career includes roles as an Assistant Professor (2016-2023) and postdoctoral fellowships at UCSB and UCLA. She has been recognized with awards such as the 2023 Mochizuki Memorial Fund Award and the 2020 Hellman Faculty Fellowship. Her teaching spans courses in real analysis, optimal transport, and graduate-level topics in mathematics. Her research has been supported by grants from the NSF and UC system, and she actively mentors graduate and undergraduate students in interdisciplinary projects. Craig is also involved in conference organization, including leading workshops on optimal transport and machine learning, and contributes to academic service roles such as NSF panel participation and editorial work for journals. Key research themes include the development of numerical methods for optimal transport, applications to machine learning and physics, and the analysis of gradient flows in metric spaces. Her work bridges theoretical mathematics with computational and applied challenges, fostering collaborations across disciplines.
