Algebraic Topology at UMN

Our algrebraic tolopogy group here at UMN currently has one graduate student:

Community Engagement & Service to the Profession

Spectra

I am a co-founder for Spectra: the association for LGBTQ+ mathematicians. We host conferences, panels at the JMM and other national meetings, and social events. We also work to make math more inclusive for LGBTQ+ people, allowing them to bring their whole selves to their mathematical lives.

Trans Inclusive Naming Policies

I am a member of a working group focusing on pushing publishers across disciplines to adopt more trans inclusive naming policies.

American Mathematical Society Human Rights Committee

I serve on the Human Rights Committee for the AMS, working to help the AMS keep abreast with human rights concerns around the globe.

About Me

Job History

I am an Ordway Professor at the University of Minnesota. Prior to my appointment at UMN, I was a Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, Associate Professor at the University of Virginia, a visitor for a year at Harvard, a Whyburn Instructor at UVA, and a graduate student at MIT.

Grants & Outside Funding

Much of my research is generously supported by grants. I current hold a grant from the NSF. Here are links to my grant applications for people interested in what sorts of problems I think about and for people who need models for their own applications.

Editorial Positions

I am an editor for La Mathematica, a general interest journal overseen by the Association for Women in Mathematics, and I am excited to see more algebraic topology and homotopy theory represented therein.

I am an editor for Tunisian Journal of Mathematics, a general interest journal. I am excited to see more homotopy theory here too!
