Mareike Dressler
I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor, tenure-track) in the
School of Mathematics and Statistics
at the
University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney).
Prior to joining UNSW, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the
Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (MPI MiS) in Leipzig working in the
Convexity, Optimization and Data Science research group lead by
Venkat Chandrasekaran and affiliated to the
Nonlinear Algebra
group of
Bernd Sturmfels.
From 2019-2021, I was a Stefan E. Warschawski Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics
of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) where my postdoc mentors were
Jiawang Nie and
Bill Helton.
I spent Fall 2018 as a Semester Postdoctoral Fellow at Brown University in the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM) participating in the
semester program on Nonlinear Algebra.
In May 2018, I completed my PhD at the Goethe-Universität in Frankfurt am Main under the supervision
of Thorsten Theobald.
