Sarah Brauner

About me: I am a PhD candidate in Mathematics at the University of Minnesota. My advisor is Vic Reiner. I will be on the job market in Fall 2022.
I am currently supported by a three-year UMN College of Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship . Before that, I was supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program.
Contact: Email me at braun622 "at" umn.edu.
Pronouns: she/her/hers
Research: I study algebraic combinatorics and its intersections with representation theory and algebraic topology. See my research page for more details.
News: My extended abstract Eulerian representations for real reflection groups was recently awarded the FPSAC Best Graduate Student Paper of 2021! (Thanks to Tom Roby for capturing the moment.) Here are the slides for this talk and a recording of the talk.
Organizing:
- I am a co-organizer of the Mathematics Project at Minnesota, a weeklong workshop for UMN undergraduates that come from groups traditionally underrepresented in mathematics. The workshop runs annually every January. We are very grateful to be supported by the MAA Tensor Women and Mathematics Grant.
- I am a co-organizer of the Graduate Online Combinatorics Colloquium. If you are interested in speaking, please let me know.
- I co-organized the (virtual) Graduate Student Combinatorics Conference on April 23-25, 2021 at UMN. All talk recordings can be found here.
