Lisa Marquand

I am currently a NSF Postdoctoral research Fellow at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences (New York University). 

Starting in Fall 2026, I will be Assistant Professor at Rutgers University.

My work is supported by NSF DMS- 2503390.

Previously, I was a Courant instructor during 2023-2025, and was awarded the Wu Family Postdoctoral Fellowship for the year 2024-2025. 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).
