SwissMAP member stories: Olga Chekeres

13 Jun 2019

SwissMAP member stories: Olga Chekeres (UNIGE, A. Alekseev Group)

 

SwissMAP-funded PhD student, Olga Chekeres, completed her thesis in April 2019, one year earlier than planned. Supervised by Anton Alekseev, she wrote two successful publications: A. Alekseev, O. Chekeres and P. Mnev “Wilson surface observables from equivariant cohomology”  and O. Chekeres “Quantum Wilson surfaces and topological interactions”. This summer she will be joining the University of Connecticut, USA, for the next 3 years as an Assistant Research Professor.

 

 

 

Olga’s exceptional career trajectory has been clearly led by remarkable enthusiasm and determination. From a very early age she was fascinated with astronomy and astrophysics and remembers that she was often reading books at the local library about stars and black holes and was very curious as to how it all worked.
