Professional interests

I do research in algebraic topology; in particular, I like to take tools and results from topology and apply them in algebraic situations. This approach can yield proofs of nice theorems, and it can also open up new directions of research.

In my teaching recently, I have been trying to emphasize writing. Revision and peer review are important tools which professional mathematicians use, so our students should, too. I've been trying to incorporate these ideas in some of my courses.
