Lisa Claire Jeffrey FRSC is a Canadian mathematician, a professor of mathematics at the University of Toronto. In her research, she uses symplectic geometry to provide rigorous proofs of results in quantum field theory.[1]

Jeffrey graduated from Princeton University in 1986,[1] and obtained her doctorate from the University of Oxford in 1991, under the supervision of Sir Michael Atiyah.[2] After postdoctoral studies, she became an assistant professor at Princeton in 1992, moved to McGill University in 1995, and moved to her present position at Toronto in 1997.[3]

Jeffrey was the 2001 winner of the Krieger–Nelson Prize.[1] and the 2002 winner of the Coxeter–James Prize.[4] In 2007 she became a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada,[5] and in 2012 she became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[6] She was chosen to give the Association for Women in Mathematics-American Mathematical Society 2017 Noether Lecture at the Joint Mathematics Meetings.[7]
