From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Viveka Erlandsson is a Swedish[1] mathematician specialising in low-dimensional topology and geometry, and known in particular for extending the work of Maryam Mirzakhani on counting geodesics on hyperbolic manifolds.[2][3] She is a lecturer at the University of Bristol and in a part position an associate professor at UiT The Arctic University of Norway.
Erlandsson earned a bachelor's degree in applied mathematics from San Francisco State University in 2004, and continued at the same university for a master's degree in 2006. She became a lecturer at Baruch College and Hunter College in the City University of New York system, while pursuing a doctorate in mathematics through the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, which she completed in 2013.[4] Her dissertation, The Margulis region in hyperbolic 4-space, was supervised by Ara Basmajian.[5]
After postdoctoral research at Aalto University and the University of Helsinki in Finland, she became a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Bristol in 2017.[4]
