About////////////////////////////////////////////
My research interests include topological and geometric combinatorics, stochastic topology, topological statistical mechanics, and geometric group theory. I am also generally interested in topological data analysis and applied algebraic topology.
I am the PI on an NSF-RTG grant on "Algebraic Topology and its Applications" (2016–2021), and an NSF-CAREER grant on "Random spaces and groups" (2014–2019). I am also Senior Personnel on an NSF-TRIPODS grant on "Discovering Structure, Shape, and Dynamics in Data" (2017–2020).
I am currently advising PhD students Jimin Kim, Francisco Martinez, Andrew Newman, Katie Ritchey, and Érika Roldán. I also am working with postdocs Hannah Alpert, Fedor Manin, and Benjamin Schweinhart.
My former PhD students: Kyle Parsons (2017) is a data scientist at Root Insurance. Greg Malen (2016) is a postdoc at Duke.
In Spring 2018, I am teaching Math 4575 and Math 6502.
In Fall 2016, I helped organize the ICERM Semester Program on "Topology in Motion".
In Summer 2016, I helped organize the conference TGDA@OSU 2016.
In 2012, I was awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship.
