NSF Postdoctoral Fellow
Department of Mathematics
Rutgers University–Newark

I like thinking about topics related to outer automorphisms of free groups and mapping classes of surface diffeomorphisms. I’m curious about geometric topology, geometric group theory, Teichmüller theory, tropical geometry, orbifolds, cube complexes, etc.

I earned my PhD in Mathematics from Tufts University, where my advisor was Kim Ruane. I am a postdoc at Rutgers University–Newark. My mentor at Rutgers is Lee Mosher. In 2024, I will start as an assistant professor at Rutgers–Newark.

My email address is rylee.lyman@rutgers.edu.

Some places I’ll be soon:

• Diverse Aspects of Groups, Geometry and Dynamics
• AWM Research Symposium
• AIM Workshop on free-by-cyclic groups
• Groups Logic and Dynamics at Rutgers
• Mentoring in the Mathematical Sciences
• Joint Mathematics Meetings
• AIM SQuaRE
