{{short description|American mathematician}}
Julianna Sophia Tymoczko (born 1975){{r|born}} is an American mathematician whose research connects algebraic geometry and algebraic combinatorics, including representation theory, Schubert calculus, equivariant cohomology, and Hessenberg varieties. She is a professor of mathematics at Smith College.{{r|smith}}
Education and career
Tymoczko grew up in Western Massachusetts, and studied discrete mathematics at Smith College as a high school student.{{r|about}}
She was an undergraduate at Harvard University, and wrote a senior thesis on the homotopy groups of spheres, The {{mvar|p}}-components of the stable homotopy groups of spheres, with Joe Harris and Michael J. Hopkins as faculty mentors.{{r|about|harv}} After graduating in 1998,{{r|harv}} she moved to Princeton University for graduate study, and completed her Ph.D. there in 2003. Her dissertation, Decomposing Hessenberg Varieties over Classical Groups, was supervised by Robert MacPherson.{{r|about|mg}}
After being a Clay Liftoff Fellow, NSF Postdoctoral Fellow, and Hildebrandt Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan, she took a tenure-track position at the University of Iowa in 2007. In 2011 she returned to Smith College as a faculty member. She was promoted to full professor in 2019.{{r|promo}}
Recognition
Tymoczko was elected as a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in the 2020 class, for "contributions to algebraic geometry and combinatorics, and for outreach and mentorship".{{r|fams}}
Personal life
Tymoczko is one of three children of Thomas Tymoczko, a logician and philosopher of mathematics at Smith College, and comparative literature scholar Maria Tymoczko of the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Her brother, Dmitri Tymoczko, is a music composer and music theorist.{{r|family}} She is married to Marshall Poe, a historian at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.{{r|poe}}
