Karin Baur

Karin Baur is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Leeds. She is a leading expert in cluster algebras, representation theory, and the combinatorics of surfaces. Her research translates geometric structures on surfaces into algebraic structures, revealing deep connections between topology, algebra, and combinatorics.

Her work on frieze patterns, dimer models, and categorification of cluster algebras has opened new research directions connecting representation theory with mathematical physics.
