Megumi Harada
Megumi Harada is a mathematician who works as a professor in the department of mathematics and statistics at McMaster University, where she holds a tier-two Canada Research Chair in Equivariant Symplectic and Algebraic Geometry.[1][2] Her research involves the symmetries of symplectic spaces and their connections to other areas of mathematics including algebraic geometry, representation theory, K-theory, and algebraic combinatorics.[3]
Harada graduated in 1996 from Harvard University, with a bachelor's degree in mathematics,[3], and completed her doctorate in 2003 from the University of California, Berkeley with a dissertation in symplectic geometry supervised by Allen Knutson.[3][4] After postdoctoral studies at the University of Toronto, she joined the McMaster faculty in 2006.[3]
In 2013, Harada won the Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize of the Association for Women in Mathematics.[3] She was given her Canada Research Chair in 2014.[2] She is the 2018 winner of the Krieger–Nelson Prize.[5]
