Notable Achievements

Assistant Professor of Mathematics Noelle Sawyer and her collaborators Benjamin Call, Dave Constantine, Alena Erchenko, and Grace Work had their paper “Local product structure for equilibrium states of geodesic flows and applications” published in the Journal of Modern Dynamics on February 10. The article focuses on statistical properties of equilibrium states on non-uniformly hyperbolic surfaces and strategies for working with the geometry there. The article can be read here.

Assistant Professor of Mathematics

Expertise

Geometry, dynamical systems, marked length spectrum rigidity, and a hint of thermodynamic formalism.

Noelle Sawyer is a Bahamian mathematician. She earned her PhD in Math from Wesleyan University and her BA in Math and History from Vassar College. When she’s not working on math, she’s probably baking, drinking tea, working on an embroidery project or doing crossword puzzles.

She is also strongly invested in spaces that are anti-racist, safe and equitable, especially for mathematicians. She is the cofounder of Black in Math Week and hopes to continue finding community and making connections.
