Ulrike Tillmann works in algebraic topology, where her work combines original thinking in homotopy theory with strong geometric insight to give new understanding of large classes of topological structures. She has developed new algebraic models for homotopy theory and so new frameworks for proving penetrating and definitive results. Her work is also related to modern developments in the physics of topological field theories.
