Louisa Liles 

I am an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Oberlin College.

Previously I was a Zassenhaus Assistant Professor (postdoc) at The Ohio State University, where my mentors were Micah Chrisman and Beibei Liu.

I received my PhD from the University of Virginia, where my advisor was Slava Krushkal.

My research is in quantum topology and low-dimensional topology. For more information, see my Research page.

I am also a 2025 Mathematics Outreach Seminar and Training (MOST) Fellow with the National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) in New York.

Here is my CV (last updated Feb. 2026).
