Biography:Jennifer Schultens
Jennifer Carol Schultens (born 1965)[1] is an American mathematician specializing in low-dimensional topology and knot theory. She is a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Davis.[2]
Education
Schultens earned her Ph.D. in 1993 at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her dissertation, Classification of Heegaard Splittings for Some Seifert Manifolds, was supervised by Martin Scharlemann.[3]
Research
Schultens is the author of the book Introduction to 3-Manifolds (Graduate Studies in Mathematics, 2014).[4] With Martin Scharlemann and Toshio Saito, she is a co-author of Lecture Notes On Generalized Heegaard Splittings (World Scientific, 2016).[5]
Her dissertation research involved the classification of Heegaard splittings of three-dimensional manifolds into handlebodies, which she also published in the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society.[6] Other topics in her research include the behavior of knot invariants like bridge number when knots are combined by the connected sum operation,[7] and the Kakimizu complexes of knot complements and other spaces.[8]
Personal
Schultens is married to mathematician Michael Kapovich.[9]
