Susan J. Sierra

(she/her)


I am Professor and Personal Chair of Noncommutative Algebra in the School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh, where I am a member of the Hodge Institute and the algebra group.

My research is on noncommutative ring theory, algebraic geometry, and their interactions. In recent years I have focussed on the ring theory of enveloping algebras of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras. For more information about me, see:


I am Convenor of the editorial board for Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society. Instructions for contributors.

I am an editor for Algebras and Representation Theory.
