Milana Golich
I am a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at Purdue University. I received my PhD under the supervision of David Ben McReynolds. My current mathematical interests lie in group theory, geometric topology, geometric group theory, number theory, dynamics, arithmeticity, rigidity, and discrete subgroups of Lie groups.​

About me: I am from the city of Chicago. You can catch me listening to hip-hop, drinking tea, or visiting an art museum. Lately I have been reading the works of Kaveh Akbar, a Purdue grad and best-selling author, who seemed to have made it into academia from humble beginnings like myself.
