Education and career
Grigsby earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University in 1999,[1][2] after earlier forays into biochemistry and physics. After a year working as an operations researcher in Silicon Valley, she returned to graduate school at the University of California, Berkeley,[3] and completed her doctorate in 2005 under the joint supervision of Robion Kirby and Peter Ozsváth.[1][2][4]
She was a postdoctoral researcher at Columbia University and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, and joined the Boston College faculty in 2009.[1]
Service
Grigsby belongs to the advisory board of Girls' Angle, a non-profit organization for encouraging girls to participate in mathematics,[1][5] and is responsible for creating a sequence of video lectures by women in mathematics for Girls' Angle.[5]
Recognition
In 2014 she became the inaugural winner of the Joan & Joseph Birman Research Prize in Topology and Geometry, given biennially by the Association for Women in Mathematics to an outstanding early-career female researcher in topology and geometry.[2]
