Sema Salur is a Turkish-American mathematician, currently serving as a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Rochester.[1] She was awarded the Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize for 2014–2015,[2] a prize intended to give a recently promoted associate professor a year-long fellowship at Cornell University;[3] and has been the recipient of a National Science Foundation Research Award beginning in 2017.[4] She specialises in the "geometry and topology of the moduli spaces of calibrated submanifolds inside Calabi–Yau, G2 and Spin(7) manifolds",[2][5] which are important to certain aspects of string theory and M-theory in physics, theories that attempt to unite gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces into one coherent Theory of Everything.[5]
