Lisa Marie Piccirillo (born 1990 or 1991)[1] is an American mathematician who works on Geometry and low-dimensional topology. In 2020, Piccirillo published a mathematical proof in the journal Annals of Mathematics determining that the Conway knot is not a slice knot,[2] answering an unsolved problem in knot theory first proposed over fifty years prior by English mathematician John Horton Conway.[3] In July 2020, she became an assistant professor of mathematics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[4]
