Jennifer Cheung Hom is an American mathematician whose research concerns low-dimensional topology, including Heegaard Floer homology and link concordance.
[1] She became a doctoral student of Paul Melvin at the 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.
[1] Hom was named to the 2023 class of Fellows of the 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 of the American Mathematical Society.
