Julia Elizabeth Bergner is a mathematician specializing in algebraic topology, homotopy theory, and higher category theory.

Her dissertation, Three Models for the Homotopy Theory of Homotopy Theories, was supervised by William Gerard Dwyer.

[2][3] After postdoctoral research at Kansas State University, she joined the mathematics faculty at the University of California, Riverside in 2008.

[2] Bergner is the author of the book The homotopy theory of (∞,1)-categories (London Mathematical Society Student Texts 90, Cambridge University Press, 2018).

[4] Her other publications include: In 2018, the Association for Women in Mathematics gave Bergner the Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize for her research on algebraic K-theory.
