Jennifer Cheung Hom is an American mathematician whose research concerns low-dimensional topology, including Heegaard Floer homology and link concordance. She is a professor of mathematics at Georgia Tech.
Education and career
Hom majored in applied physics at Columbia University, with a minor in applied physics, graduating magna cum laude in 2004.[1] She became a doctoral student of Paul Melvin at the University of Pennsylvania, completing a Ph.D. in 2011 with the dissertation Heegaard Floer invariants and cabling.[1][2]
She returned to Columbia University as Ritt Assistant Professor from 2011 to 2015, when she moved to Georgia Tech. She was tenured there as an associate professor in 2018.[1]
Recognition
Hom was named to the 2023 class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society, "for contributions to low-dimensional topology, Heegaard Floer homology, and service to the mathematical community".[3] In 2024 she was awarded the Levi L. Conant Prize of the American Mathematical Society.[4]
