Laura Murray

I am an Assistant Professor in the Mathematics & Computer Science Department at Providence College.  My research interests involve the intersection of algebraic topology and category theory with mathematical physics. I'm specifically interested in higher symmetries in field theories.

I received my PhD in May 2020 from the University of Notre Dame, under the direction of Stephan Stolz. My dissertation looked at equivariant factorization algebras from a higher category approach. I received a BA in Mathematics and Humanities from Providence College, and am thrilled to be back at my alma mater.
