Teena Meredith Gerhardt is a professor of mathematics at Michigan State University. Her research focuses on algebraic topology, including algebraic K-theory and equivariant [stable homotopy theory].
Education and career
Gerhardt studied mathematics as an undergraduate at Stanford University, graduating in 2002. She completed her Ph.D. in 2007 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her dissertation, The -graded equivariant homotopy of , was supervised by Lars Hesselholt; it concerned the homotopy theory of the topological Hochschild homology ring of a finite field.She was a Zorn Postdoctoral Fellow at Indiana University from 2007 until 2010, when she joined Michigan State University as an assistant professor.
