Gil Goffer

I'm currently an S. E. W. visiting assistant  professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, San Diego, where I’m fortunate to be mentored by Tianyi Zheng. Beginning in October 2026, I will join the Faculty of Mathematics at the Technion as an Assistant Professor.

I earned my Ph.D. from the Weizmann Institute of Science in 2022, under the supervision of Tsachik Gelander. Following that, I became a UC President's Postdoctoral Fellow and received several fellowships, including Fulbright Fellowship, Schmidt Futures Women's Postdoctoral Prize, and Weizmann Institute's Women Career Development Award in Science.

My research focuses on finitely generated groups and locally compact groups, particularly their actions on various associated spaces. I’m especially interested in using geometric and probabilistic tools to address problems in algebra.
