Tyler Kelly is a Professor of Pure Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London and UKRI Future Leaders Fellow. Their research is in algebraic geometry and mirror symmetry, broadly interpreted. Tyler currently holds a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship studying Landau-Ginzburg models, a certain flavour of singularity theory in algebraic geometry that is used in homological mirror symmetry.
Tyler graduated with their PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 2014. They subsequently held an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship and EPSRC Postdoctoral Fellowship consecutively at Cambridge, where they were a College Research Associate and Research Fellow at Homerton. In 2018, they moved to Birmingham for their first permanent position.
In addition to their research, Tyler is active in advocating for equality and inclusion in STEM, with a leading expertise in the inclusion of LGBTQ+ people in mathematics. They have worked in many national-level roles, including as a co-chair of the LGBTQ+ STEM project, on the London Mathematical Society’s Committee for Women and Diversity in Mathematics, on the Academy for the Mathematical Sciences’ EDI Advisory Board, and on the REF 2029 People and Diversity Advisory Panel. They also organised Spec Q, the first conference aimed to promote research advances of LGBTQ+ mathematicians in algebra, geometry, and number theory.
