Research

My research is in algebraic topology. I am particularly interested to connections with geometry, mathematical physics and number theory. Studying the homotopy theory of configuration, function, and moduli spaces has lead me to applications to distributional problems in arithmetic geometry, string topology, and homological stability. I have a long-standing interest in stable homotopy theory, both in its own right (especially via the chromatic program), and for use in other fields where extraordinary cohomology theories are useful.
