Sara Cosette Billey is an American mathematician working in algebraic combinatorics. She is known for her contributions on Schubert polynomials, singular loci of Schubert varieties, Kostant polynomials, and Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomials[2] often using computer verified proofs. She is currently a professor of mathematics at the University of Washington.[3]
Education and career
[edit]Billey did her undergraduate studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, graduating in 1990.[3] She earned her Ph.D. in mathematics in 1994 from the University of California, San Diego, under the joint supervision of Adriano Garsia and Mark Haiman.[4] She returned to MIT as a postdoctoral researcher with Richard P. Stanley, and continued there as an assistant and associate professor until 2003, when she moved to the University of Washington.[3]
Recognition
[edit]In 2012, she became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[5]
