Tyler Kelly is a professor in the Centre for Combinatorics, Algebra and Number Theory and a Future Leader Fellow working on open mirror geometry for Landau-Ginzburg models. Their inspiring commitment to EDI has been recognised by the appointment to prestigious learned societies and advisory boards, as the London Mathematical Society Committee for Women and Diversity in Mathematics, the EDI Advisory Board of the Academy for the Mathematical Sciences and REF People and Diversity advisory panel. They are the co-chair of LGBTQ+STEM, an organisation that supports LGBTQ+ researchers working in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Recently, they have organised three one-day events at Queen Mary focusing on "Best Practice," "Downstream Barriers," and "Strategies and Implementation." These events explored how learned societies and organisations can help improve LGBTQ+ research culture within STEM. This work forms part of a UKRI Future Leader Fellowship Plus Fund project on cultivating and coordinating a positive research culture for LGBTQ+ STEM researchers, which makes Tyler a leader in inclusion and a role model in the sector.
