office: 524A, Science Center

Welcome. As of 1 October 2010, I am a postdoc in mathematics at Harvard University, partially supported by an NSF grant. Previously, I was a postdoc at the University of Copenhagen as a member of the Center for Symmetry and Deformation. I received my PhD through Stanford University under the supervision of Ralph Cohen.
See my Curriculum Vitæ (5 pages) for specifics.

Research:
My background is in algebraic topology with an emphasis on the homotopy theory of manifolds. My research has concentrated on bordism categories and algebraic and geometric structures therein. For a brief account of my research interests along with a list of papers and notes, click the link just above.


Teaching activities:
During the fall term of 2011, I will be teaching Calculus 1b which meets MWF 10am - 11am in room 112 of the Science Center. My office hours are M 12-1 and W 2-3 or by appointment.

I supervised a masters project of Casper Guldberg's (University of Copenhagen) on basic constructions in quasi-categories (29 pages). I supervised a part of the PhD project of Emanuele Dotto (University of Copenhagen) where he is used simplicial techniques to consider h-principles with boundary conditions (33 pages). See my CV (5 pages) for a complete account of my teaching experience.

Other stuff:
A link to some juggling videos.
A link to some photos of outrageous natural features.
A link to some modest comics.
