Erica Klarreich

Erica Gail Klarreich is an American mathematician, journalist and science popularizer.

As a mathematician, Klarreich is known for her theorem in geometric topology that states that the boundary of the curve complex is homeomorphic to the space of ending laminations.[1][2][3]

As a science writer, her work appears in publications such as Nature, Scientific American, New Scientist, and Quanta Magazine.[4][5]

Klarreich's father was a professor of mathematics, and her mother was a mathematics teacher.[6]

Klarreich obtained her Ph.D. in mathematics under the guidance of Yair Nathan Minsky at Stony Brook University in 1997.[7]
