Katarzyna (Kasia) Anna Rejzner (born 1985) is a Polish mathematical physicist specializing in algebraic quantum field theory and the theory of renormalization,[1][2] including the Batalin–Vilkovisky formalism. She works as a professor in mathematics at the University of York.[3]

Education and career

[edit]

Rejzner was born in 1985 in Kraków,[4] the daughter of two architects.[5] She earned a master's degree in physics in 2009 from Jagiellonian University, and completed her Ph.D. in 2011 at the University of Hamburg under the supervision of Klaus Fredenhagen, with a dissertation on the Batalin–Vilkovisky formalism.[6] After postdoctoral studies at the University of Rome Tor Vergata she joined the University of York in 2013, and was promoted to senior lecturer there in 2017.[3] In 2016 and 2017, she visited the Perimeter Institute as an Emmy Noether Visiting Fellow.[5] She was promoted to the position of full professor in Mathematics, University of York in 2024.[7] During the term 2024-2026, Rejzner serves as the President of the International Association of Mathematical Physics (IAMP), being the first female in this position since the foundation of the IAMP.

Book

[edit]

Rejzner is the author of the book Perturbative Algebraic Quantum Field Theory: An Introduction for Mathematicians (Mathematical Physics Studies, Springer, 2016).[9]
