Joining Us: Maria Trnkova

Maria received her Ph.D. in 2012 from Palacky University in the Czech Republic, but most of her study time she spent at Princeton University, where she worked under the supervision of David Gabai. Afterwards, she was an instructor at Caltech and in 2016 she joined UC Davis, first as a KAP and then continued as a lecturer. She is primarily interested in Geometry and Topology. She had collaborated with Joel Hass on imaging problems. After a break for sabbatical and maternal leaves, she is excited to be back in the department and teaching again.
