Lisa Piccirillo

Lisa Marie Piccirillo (born 1990 or 1991) is an American mathematician who is the Sid W. Richardson Regents Chair in Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin. She works in the fields of geometry and low-dimensional topology. In 2020, Piccirillo published a mathematical proof in the journal ''Annals of Mathematics'' determining that the Conway knot is not a smoothly slice knot, answering an unsolved problem in knot theory first proposed over fifty years prior by English mathematician John Horton Conway.

From 2020 to 2024, she was an assistant professor of mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Provided by Wikipedia
