Biography
Neha is a BSc (Hons.) in Mathematics from Kamala Nehru College, University of Delhi, and has earned her MSc and PhD in Mathematics from IISER Mohali, India. She subsequently held postdoctoral positions at IISER Bhopal and Université de Caen Normandie, France, where she was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship and WINNIN Normandy Postdoctoral Fellowship. She was also a visiting researcher at Universität Bielefeld, Germany.
Her interests lie in combinatorial group theory and low-dimensional topology. In particular, in braid groups and related algebraic structures, diagram groups, and right-angled Artin and Coxeter groups.
