About

////////////////////////////////////////////

I am a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Ohio State University. My research interests include topological and geometric combinatorics, stochastic topology, topological statistical mechanics, and geometric group theory. I am also interested in topological data analysis and applications of algebraic topology in general.

I am currently advising PhD students Shreeya Behera, Paul Duncan, Jimin Kim, and Francisco Martinez-Figueroa. I am also working with postdoc Benjamin Schweinhart.

My former PhD students: Katie Ritchy is a tenure-track assistant professor at University of Mount Union. Andrew Newman (2018) is a postdoc at Technische Universität Berlin. Érika Roldán (2018) is a visiting assistant professor at Ohio State. Kyle Parsons (2017) is a data scientist at Root Insurance. Greg Malen (2016) is a postdoc at Duke University.

In the 2019–20 academic year, I will be on sabbatical in Berlin, supported in part by a Simons Fellowship.
