Gil Goffer

I'm an S. E. W. visiting assistant  professor at the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, San Diego, mentored by prof. Tianyi Zheng. In addition, I'm supported by the Women Postdoctoral Career Development Award in Science.

I completed my PhD at the Weizmann Institute of Science in 2022, under the supervision of prof. Tsachik Gelander, then became a UC President's Postdoctoral Fellow and received the Fulbright Award and the Schmidt Futures Women's Postdoctoral Prize.

I study finitely generated groups and locally compact groups, and their actions on associated spaces. I'm especially interested in applying geometric and probabilistic methods to solve algebraic problems.
