Curriculum Vitæ
This semester I am teaching two courses, Math 2260 and Math 8250. Please see the course pages for more.
My primary research interest is in using geometry to solve interesting topological and physical problems. I am currently working on fleshing out the theory of certain exactly solvable models of random polygons that my collaborators and I defined by way of Riemannian and symplectic geometry. I am also developing a geometric theory of link-homotopy invariants which I hope will lead to new topological invariants of vector fields which give lower bounds on the field energy. Please see the research page for more.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me.
