Ada Stelzer

I am a Parekh Research Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan. My research is in algebraic geometry and combinatorics: I am particularly interested in studying the homological invariants of ideals that arise in Schubert calculus.

Previously, I was a PhD student and NSF graduate research fellow at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, advised by Alex Yong. My thesis (defended in 2026) won the Philippe Tondeur Dissertation Prize at UIUC and the AWM Dissertation Prize.
