Diane Maclagan

I am a Professor at the Mathematics Institute at the University of Warwick. Prior to coming to Warwick I spent three years in the Mathematics Department at Rutgers University. I have also spent time at Stanford and the Institute for Advanced Study. I was a graduate student at UC Berkeley, where my advisor was Bernd Sturmfels.

Research: My research is in combinatorial and computational commutative algebra and algebraic geometry, with emphasis on toric varieties, Hilbert schemes, and tropical geometry.

My research is supported by EPSRC.

Interested in a summer research programme, and an undergraduate from a group underrepresented in maths? Apply to the Warwick programme for this summer!.
