I teach theoretical computer science with the occasional math class, and I'm passionate about equity and inclusion in computer science and mathematics. My primary research focus is computational topology and geometry, with an increasing focus on topological data analysis, as well as a more general interest in combinatorics and combinatorial algorithms. I like both theory and practice, and I am interested both in the limits of computation as well as in applications of mathematics to real world data. Please check my list of publications for more details about all my past projects that span these areas, or see my orcid profile or my google scholar profile.
I'm married to Jeff Chambers, and we have three children, Grace, Edwin, and Jesse. We also have two cats named Hercules Mulligan and Natasha Romanoff, and two guinea pigs named Skeletor and Squirrel Taco, all of whom are very spoiled. In my spare time, I like to read, build lego models, go to concerts and enjoy live music, and drink tea.
