Lisa Marquand

Starting in Fall 2026, I am an Assistant Professor at Rutgers University.

Previously, I was a NSF Postdoctoral research Fellow (supported by NSF DMS- 2503390) at the Courant Institute, New York University 2025-2026. Before that, I was Courant instructor/Wu Family Postdoctoral Fellow during the years 2023-2025. 

I completed my PhD in 2023 at Stony Brook University, under the supervision of Radu Laza.

I am interested in Algebraic Geometry, more specifically birational transformations of Hyperkähler manifolds, in particular those constructed from cubic fourfolds. I also study automorphisms of cubic hypersurfaces, using both geometric and Hodge Theoretic methods.

I am originally from Guernsey, a small English Island off of the coast of France. You may have heard of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (now a movie).
