Raised in NYC, Spencer's affinity for Charlottesville grew when she moved to study math at UVA in 2014. Her thesis focused on he linearized Navier-Stokes equations. Soon after she graduated, she started teaching at Mary Baldwin College and then moved back to teach math at UVA's Applied Math program. Outside work, she enjoys yoga and puzzles.
My research broadly focuses on the intersection of public cultures of work; commercial forms and techniques of governance; technology and the design of tools, machines, and devices; and architectures and infrastructures of mobility in the city. My current research focuses on…
