Penka Georgieva
Penka Vasileva Georgieva is a mathematician whose research interests include enumerative geometry, symplectic topology, and Gromov–Witten invariants. Educated in Bulgaria and the US, she works in France as a professor at the Institut de mathématiques de Jussieu – Paris Rive Gauche, affiliated with Sorbonne University.
Education and career
[edit]Georgieva was a student of Vasil Tsanov in Bulgaria, earning a master's degree in 2005 with the master's thesis Quotients of the Ball of the Second Kind.[1] She went to Stanford University for doctoral study with Eleny Ionel, and defended her dissertation, Orientability of moduli spaces and open Gromov-Witten invariants, in 2011.[2] She completed a habilitation in 2020.[3][4]
After working as an instructor at Princeton University from 2011 to 2014, she came to the Institut de mathématiques de Jussieu as a postdoctoral researcher in 2014, and continued as maître de conférences in 2016. She was named as a professor there in 2021.[3]
Recognition
[edit]Georgieva was an invited speaker at the 2022 (virtual) International Congress of Mathematicians.[5]
She received the CNRS Bronze Medal in 2022.[4]
