Education and career

As a student at Burnside High School in Christchurch, New Zealand, Maclagan competed in the International Mathematical Olympiad in 1990 and 1991, earning a bronze medal in 1991.[3][4] As an undergraduate, she studied at the University of Canterbury, graduating in 1995.[5] She did her PhD at the University of California, Berkeley, graduating in 2000. Her dissertation, Structures on Sets of Monomial Ideals, was supervised by Bernd Sturmfels.[5][6]

After postdoctoral research at the Institute for Advanced Study, Maclagan was a Szegő Assistant Professor at Stanford University from 2001 to 2004, an assistant professor at Rutgers University from 2004 to 2007, then an associate professor there from 2007 to 2009. She moved to her present position at the University of Warwick in 2007.[5]

Books

With Bernd Sturmfels, Maclagan is the author of the book Introduction to Tropical Geometry.[7] With Rekha R. Thomas, Sara Faridi, Leah Gold, A. V. Jayanthan, Amit Khetan, and Tony Puthenpurakal, she is the author of Computational Algebra and Combinatorics of Toric Ideals.[8]

gollark: Anyway, you hold shift to boost in the direction you look, and it has limited anti-fall-damage capability.
gollark: It vanished mysteriously and I got refunded.
gollark: I bought it for 100KST.
gollark: I used to have a command computer.
