Julia Elizabeth Bergner is a mathematician specializing in algebraic topology, homotopy theory, and higher category theory. She is an associate professor of mathematics at the University of Virginia.[1]

Education and career

Bergner graduated from Gonzaga University in 2000.[2] She completed her Ph.D. at the University of Notre Dame in 2005. Her dissertation, Three Models for the Homotopy Theory of Homotopy Theories, was supervised by William Gerard Dwyer.[2][3]

After postdoctoral research at Kansas State University, she joined the mathematics faculty at the University of California, Riverside in 2008. She moved from there to the University of Virginia in 2016.[2]

Selected publications

Bergner is the author of the book The homotopy theory of (,1)-categories (London Mathematical Society Student Texts 90, Cambridge University Press, 2018).[4]
