'''Jennifer Leigh Morse''' is a mathematician specializing in [[algebraic combinatorics]]. She is a professor of mathematics at the [[University of Virginia]].{{r|facdir}}

==Research==
Morse's interests in algebraic combinatorics include [[representation theory]] and applications to [[statistical physics]], [[symmetric function]]s, [[Young tableau]]x, and <math>k</math>-Schur functions, which are a generalization of [[Schur polynomial]]s.{{r|newva}}

==Education and career==
Morse earned her Ph.D. in 1999 from the [[University of California, San Diego]]. Her dissertation, ''Explicit Expansions for Knop-Sahi and Macdonald Polynomials'', was supervised by [[Adriano Garsia]].{{r|mg}}

She has been a faculty member at the [[University of Pennsylvania]], at the [[University of Miami]], and at [[Drexel University]] before moving to the University of Virginia in 2017.{{r|newva}}

==Book==
Morse is one of six coauthors of the book ''<math>k</math>-Schur Functions and Affine Schubert Calculus'' (Fields Institute Monographs 33, Springer, 2014).{{r|ksf}}

==Recognition==
Morse was named a [[Simons Fellow]] in Mathematics in 2012 and again in 2021.{{r|simons}} She was elected as a Fellow of the [[American Mathematical Society]] in the 2021 class of fellows, "for contributions to algebraic combinatorics and representation theory and service to the mathematical community".{{r|fams}}
