Siddhi Krishna
about me:
Hi! I'm Siddhi (she/her). My name is pronounced a bit like "city". I will be applying for tenure track jobs in Fall 2024.
I'm interested in low dimensional and geometric topology. In particular, I study 3- and 4- dimensional manifolds, as well as the knots and surfaces that live inside them. You can read more about my research interests here.
You may know me from:
Columbia University, where I am currently an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow and Ritt Assistant Professor. My NSF sponsor is Mohammed Abouzaid.
Georgia Tech, where I was an RTG funded postdoc for the 2020/2021 academic year.
Boston College, where I was a graduate student advised by Josh Greene.
I co-authored a reflective piece on designing an REU where equity was a priority; this article was published in the February 2022 edition of the AMS Notices.
Here is my CV, and this is my claim to fame.
updates:
I'm currently co-organizing the Columbia Geometric Topology seminar.
With Nathan Chen and Sisi Shen, I'm organizing the Columbia Postdoc Seminar.
I'm organizing the Columbia Undergraduate Mathematics Colloquium, which features research talks by non-Columbia mathematicians. More details here!
I posted my new paper, "Taut foliations, braid positivity, and unknot detection" to the arXiv!
upcoming travel:
I'll be speaking at:
