**Jennifer Cheung Hom** is an American mathematician whose research concerns [low-dimensional topology](/source/Low-dimensional_topology), including Heegaard [Floer homology](/source/Floer_homology) and [link concordance](/source/Link_concordance). She is a professor of mathematics at [Georgia Tech](/source/Georgia_Tech).

## Education and career

Hom majored in applied physics at [Columbia University](/source/Columbia_University), with a minor in [applied mathematics](/source/Applied_mathematics), graduating [magna cum laude](/source/Magna_cum_laude) in 2004.[1] She became a doctoral student of Paul Melvin at the [University of Pennsylvania](/source/University_of_Pennsylvania), completing a Ph.D. in 2011 with the dissertation *Heegaard Floer invariants and cabling*.[1][2]

She returned to Columbia University as Ritt Assistant Professor from 2011 to 2015, when she moved to [Georgia Tech](/source/Georgia_Tech). She was tenured there as an associate professor in 2018.[1]

## Recognition

Hom was named to the 2023 class of Fellows of the [American Mathematical Society](/source/American_Mathematical_Society), "for contributions to low-dimensional topology, Heegaard Floer homology, and service to the mathematical community".[3] In 2024 she was awarded the [Levi L. Conant Prize](/source/Levi_L._Conant_Prize) of the American Mathematical Society.[4]
