Professor Sathaye obtained her PhD from the Ohio State University in 2018 in pure mathematics with a thesis titled "Obstructions to Riemannian smoothing of locally CAT(0) 4-manifolds.鈥 She spent a year at Wake Forest University teaching undergraduate mathematics and conducting research. In 2019 she received a postdoctoral fellowship for a year to work at Ben Gurion University in Be鈥檈r Sheva, Israel. In 2020, she took up a postdoctoral position at the University of M眉nster in Germany. She joined the American University of Paris in 2023. 聽
Her research is in the area of geometric group theory and she is particularly interested in non-positively curved groups and spaces. Her thesis explores the difference between two different notions of nonpositive curvature. Her current interests include understanding the behaviour of boundaries of nonpositively curved groups.
