Academic career
editClark completed a PhD titled Classifying the Type of Groupoid C*-algebras at Dartmouth College in 2004.[1] Clark then joined the faculty of the Victoria University of Wellington, rising to full professor in 2023.[2] She has published on C*-algebras, groupoids, Steinberg algebras and Leavitt path algebras.
Clark is the Head of the School of Mathematics and Statistics at Victoria University of Wellington.[3] She is on the editorial board of the Journal of Inquiry-Based Learning in Mathematics.[4]
In 2018 Clark was an associate investigator on a Marsden grant led by Astrid an Huef and Iain Raeburn, titled Through the looking glass: sharpening the classification program through implications for operator algebras of graphs and groupoids.[5] In 2021 Clark and van Huef were joint principal investigators on another successful Marsden grant, called Establishing a structure theory for C*-algebras of non-Hausdorff groupoids.[6][2]
Honours and awards
editIn 2017 Clark was awarded the New Zealand Mathematical Society's top prize, the Kalman Prize for best paper.[2][7] She was a plenary speaker at the NZMS colloquium in 2019.[8]
In 2022 Clark was awarded the Aitken Lectureship, a joint award between the New Zealand and London Mathematical Societies. Clark gave lectures at Queen's University Belfast, Durham University, Aberystwyth University and at the London Mathematical Society annual meeting.[9]
