I am currently a Junior Fellow of the Mittag-Leffler Institute's program Operator Algebras and Quantum Information. I am on the job market for postdoctoral and permanent positions, beginning in 2026.
I’m Adina (Goldberg), a quantum mathematician, educator, and canoeist, not necessarily in that order. Also now a mama! The meaning is in the arrows can be interpreted as a mathematical motto, an educational motto, a canoeing motto, and even a personal/parenting motto. Ask me how!
You may be visiting me here because of shared research interests, maybe for educational purposes, or maybe because you want to know what kind of things go through my head. Maybe you are doing a background check, in which case here is my CV and a career timeline. Maybe I took you on a canoe trip once and you saw I had a website. Maybe you consider yourself to be non-adjacent to math and wonder what I do, in which case check out this video where I talk about my journey to my current work.
As of spring 2026, I have a junior fellowship at the Mittag-Leffler Institute in the Stockholm area, at the program Operator Algebras and Quantum Information.
I defended my PhD thesis in 2025 at the University of Waterloo in the Pure Math department, advised by Michael Brannan. I was also affiliated to IQC.
