Megumi Harada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Megumi Harada is a mathematician who works as a professor in the department of mathematics and statistics at McMaster University, where she holds a tier-two Canada Research Chair in Equivariant Symplectic and Algebraic Geometry.[1][2]
Harada's research involves the symmetries of symplectic spaces and their connections to other areas of mathematics including algebraic geometry, representation theory, K-theory, and algebraic combinatorics.[3]
Education and career
Harada graduated in 1996 from Harvard University, with a bachelor's degree in mathematics.[3] She completed her doctorate in 2003 from the University of California, Berkeley. Her dissertation, The Symplectic Geometry of the Gel'fand-Cetlin-Molev Basis for Representations of Sp(2n, C), concerned symplectic geometry and was supervised by Allen Knutson.[3][4]
After postdoctoral studies at the University of Toronto, she joined the McMaster faculty in 2006.[3]
