My research interest is the topology of singularities, with applications to algebraic geometry and differential geometry. I am currently working with Adam Parusinski (University of Angers, France) on invariants of real semialgebraic and algebraic sets. In spring 2004 I was a member of MSRI in Berkeley, where I participated in the program Topological Aspects of Real Algebraic Geometry. In the fall of 2005 I visited the Institut Henri Poincare in Paris, and I taught a course "Invariants and singularities of real algebraic varieties" as part of the Special Trimester on Real Geometry at the Centre Emille Borel. In June 2006 I attended my 60th birthday conference at the University of Angers!

In the fall I taught MATH 5200/7200, Foundations of Geometry I. This semester I'm teaching MATH 5210/7210, Foundations of Geometry II, and MATH 3200, Introduction to Higher Mathematics. I had two PhD students finish in 2007, Val Hower and Emille Davie.

For more than six years I was the director of the department's National Science Foundation VIGRE grant (2001-2007).

I'm involved with the Center for Proficiency in Teaching Mathematics in the UGA Mathematics and Science Education Department. The CPTM is an NSF funded project at UGA and the University of Michigan. I participated in the Center's first summer institute in June 2003. In August 2005 and spring 2006 I organized several workshops in Athens and Atlanta by Tom Banchoff on his Multivariable Calculus Project.

My sister Raven McCrory is an education professor at Michigan State University. Margie Hicks is a property manager and Alice McCrory is a retired computer consultant in Columbia, South Carolina. My brother Elliott McCrory is a physicist at Fermilab. (This academic year he's visiting CERN in Switzerland.)

I live in Athens with my wife Sue Custance.
