Gil Goffer

I'm currently a President's Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, San Diego, mentored by Tianyi Zheng. I completed my PhD at the Weizmann Institute of Science in 2022, under the supervision of Tsachik Gelnader.

Last year, I received the Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellowship and Schmidt Futures Women's Postdoctoral Award. 

My research interests broadly lie in the field of geometric group theory. I study finitely generated groups and locally compact groups, with a focus on the actions of these groups on associated spaces. I am particularly curious about how geometric and probabilistic tools are used to solve algebraic problems.
