Laura Monk is a French mathematician whose research in spectral geometry, on the expansion and spectral properties of random hyperbolic surfaces, continues the work of Maryam Mirzakhani. [1] She works in England at the University of Bristol as a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellow and proleptic (tenure-track) lecturer. [2] [3]
After preparatory studies at the Lycée privé Sainte-Geneviève, Monk received bachelor's degrees in both mathematics and physics at Paris-Sud University in 2015, passed her agrégation in mathematics in 2017, and received a master's degree with honors in 2018, also including study at the École Normale Supérieure. [3] She completed her Ph.D. in 2021 at the University of Strasbourg, with the dissertation Geometry and spectrum of typical hyperbolic surfaces supervised by Nalini Anantharaman. [3] [4]
She was a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, working there with Ursula Hamenstädt, from 2021 to 2022. She joined the University of Bristol in 2022 as a research associate of Jens Marklof. She became a research fellow and proleptic lecturer in 2024. [3]
As a doctoral student, Monk was named a French Young Talent in the 2021 L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Awards. [3] [5] She was a 2024 recipient of the Maryam Mirzakhani New Frontiers Prize, given to her "for advancing our understanding of random hyperbolic surfaces of large genus". [6]
The Royal Society awarded Monk a Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship in 2024. [7]
