Alice Kerr

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig, in Anna Wienhard's Geometry, Groups, and Dynamics research group. I was previously a postdoc at the University of Bristol and the University of Birmingham, working with David Hume, and before that I was a PhD student at the University of Oxford, supervised by Cornelia Drutu.

My research lies in the area of geometric group theory. I am broadly interested in the coarse geometry of non-positively curved spaces, and generalisations of hyperbolic groups. More specifically, I like thinking about topics including rough isometries, coarse embeddings, group growth, acylindrically hyperbolic groups (such as right-angled Artin groups, mapping class groups, and graph products), and coarse median spaces (such as trees, quasi-trees, and CAT(0) cube complexes).
