Education and career

Hersh graduated magna cum laude with an A.B. in mathematics and computer science from Harvard University in 1995,[4] with a senior thesis supervised by Persi Diaconis.[3] She completed her Ph.D. in 1999 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, under the supervision of Richard P. Stanley; her dissertation was Decomposition and Enumeration in Partially Ordered Sets.[4][5]

After postdoctoral positions at the University of Washington, University of Michigan, and Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, California, she joined the faculty at Indiana University Bloomington in 2004, moved to North Carolina State University in 2008, and then to the University of Oregon in 2019.[4]

Recognition

In 2010, Hersh won the Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize of the Association for Women in Mathematics, funding a visiting position for her at Cornell University.[3] In 2015 she was elected as a fellow of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to algebraic and topological combinatorics, and for service to the mathematical community".[6]

gollark: osmarkslisp™ is probably TC while regex is… probably a "context-free" grammar?
gollark: So if you replace the osmarkslisp™ parser with json.decode and work out how to fix the string/atom distinction given that, and add string manipulation functions, parsing regex should be doable.
gollark: Well, Lisps are typically encoded in S-expressions, but it's entirely possible to have an utterly homoiconic program in JSON instead.
gollark: My code prints an intractably large number of bees and is thus superior.
gollark: ```pythonf=lambda x,y=9:f(x**x,~-y)if y else 9;print("BEES"*f(a:=f(9),a))```You should fear this.
