She is known for her work on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 , Transformers: Age of Extinction , and The Book of Eli . [2]

Background

Hayashi was born and raised in Hawaii. [1] She is of Japanese, Portuguese, English & Irish descent. [1] Her success as a gymnast gained her a full scholarship to UCLA, [1] where she studied neuroscience. [3]

Academia

While at UCLA she did research in the Paul Thompson's group at Laboratory of Neuro Image (LONI). She co-authored several papers on neuroscience topics. [4]

She has a low Erdős number of just three through the publication Brain surface parameterization using Riemann surface structure which was coauthored by Shing-Tung Yau. [5] Yau published On sampling Markov chains together with Ronald Graham, and Graham authored On Sum of Fibonacci Numbers together with Paul Erdős. [6]

Gymnastics

While at UCLA she was also a notable gymnast. [3] One of the most highly recruited freshmen her graduating year. She garnered 9 All-American titles (both first and second team). And was a National Balance Beam champion. She was Pac-10 gymnast of the year in 1999 and Pac-10 Conference Medalist [a] for 1998-99, her senior year. [7] [8] And was a two-time Pac-10 All-Academic selection. Hayashi was a finalist for the AAI American Award, given annually to the nation's most outstanding all-around senior gymnast.

In algebraic and differential geometry, a Calabi–Yau manifold, also known as a Calabi–Yau space, is a particular type of manifold which has certain properties, such as Ricci flatness, yielding applications in theoretical physics. Particularly in superstring theory, the extra dimensions of spacetime are sometimes conjectured to take the form of a 6-dimensional Calabi–Yau manifold, which led to the idea of mirror symmetry. Their name was coined by Candelas et al. (1985), after Eugenio Calabi, who first conjectured that such surfaces might exist, and Shing-Tung Yau, who proved the Calabi conjecture.

Shing-Tung Yau is a Chinese-American mathematician. He is the director of the Yau Mathematical Sciences Center at Tsinghua University and professor emeritus at Harvard University. Until 2022, Yau was the William Caspar Graustein Professor of Mathematics at Harvard, at which point he moved to Tsinghua.

In algebraic geometry and theoretical physics, mirror symmetry is a relationship between geometric objects called Calabi–Yau manifolds. The term refers to a situation where two Calabi–Yau manifolds look very different geometrically but are nevertheless equivalent when employed as extra dimensions of string theory.

A person's Erdős–Bacon number is the sum of one's Erdős number—which measures the "collaborative distance" in authoring academic papers between that person and Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős—and one's Bacon number—which represents the number of links, through roles in films, by which the person is separated from American actor Kevin Bacon. The lower the number, the closer a person is to Erdős and Bacon, which reflects a small world phenomenon in academia and entertainment.

In differential geometry, algebraic geometry, and gauge theory, the Kobayashi–Hitchin correspondence relates stable vector bundles over a complex manifold to Einstein–Hermitian vector bundles. The correspondence is named after Shoshichi Kobayashi and Nigel Hitchin, who independently conjectured in the 1980s that the moduli spaces of stable vector bundles and Einstein–Hermitian vector bundles over a complex manifold were essentially the same.
