Rate My Professor Nora Ganter

Ganter has authored key publications such as 'Codes, vertex operators and topological modular forms' (2022, Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society), 'Categorical Tori' (2018, SIGMA), 'Symmetric and exterior powers of categories' (2014), 'The elliptic Weyl character formula' (Compositio Mathematica), and 'Representation and character theory of finite categorical groups' with Robert Usher (2016). Recent preprints include 'Looking for a Refined Monster' (2024). She has supervised graduate students on theses addressing obstruction theories for categorical group extensions, twisted equivariant Tate K-theory, comparison theorems for torus-equivariant elliptic cohomology theories, homotopy theory of 2-groups, product structures of Bott-Samelson classes, and representation theory of finite 2-groups. Ganter holds editorial responsibilities as an associate editor for the Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society. Her research receives support from Australian Research Council Discovery Projects, including DP210103081 with Paul Zinn-Justin, Gufang Zhao, and Yaping Yang on elliptic Schubert calculus; DP160104912 with Matthew Ando; and DP1095815. She coordinates courses such as Accelerated Mathematics 1, linear algebra, and graduate studies in cohomology operations and applications, and delivers talks on topics including Grothendieck duality and elliptic representation theory.
