Emma Hansen (she/her)
I am a Masters student in the Mathematics Department at the University of British Columbia, under the supervision of Dr. Ailana Fraser.
Academic History
MS in Mathematics - Differential Geometry, University of British Columbia, 2025-present
PhD (incomplete) in Applied Mathematics - Optimisation, University of British Columbia, 2020-2024
MS in Aeronautics and Astronautics - Control Theory, University of Washington, 2019
BASc in Mathematics and Engineering - Applied Mechanics, Queen's University, 2017
At the end of the 2024 academic year I made the difficult decision to withdraw from my PhD, to give myself the opportunity to study mathematics in a more abstract form, something that I have always wanted to do.
