Isabella Novik is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at UW. Her research interests lie in combinatorics, and in particular in the connections between combinatorics and other areas of mathematics such as algebra and topology. Isabella fell in love with mathematics in middle school when she started attending mathematical circles in St. Petersburg (then Leningrad), Russia. As a part of this math circles experience she participated in six math summer camps (in four of them as a student and in the last two as a teaching assistant). Isabella earned all her degrees (B.Sc., M.S., and Ph.D.) from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and all of them under supervision of Professor Gil Kalai. After completion of her Ph.D. thesis in 1999 she moved to a postdoctoral position at UC Berkeley, and then in 2001 to UW. She is a recipient of Haim Nessyahu Prize for excellent Ph.D. Thesis in Mathematics in Israel and an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship.
