Paige Hillen

I am a postdoc at University of Wisconsin - Madison, working with Caglar Uyanik and Chenxi Wu in the Groups, Geometry and Dynamics RTG.  I graduated with a PhD in math from UC Santa Barbara in 2025, advised by Darren Long. 

I study geometric topology and geometric group theory. Lately, I've been thinking about stretch factors of outer automorphisms of free groups. Visualizing mathematics is another interest of mine.
