I defended my PhD dissertation on May 7th, 2024. My defense committee members were
Gennady Lyubeznik (chair), Christine Berkesch (advisor), David Favero, Anna Weigandt.

Here are my materials:

• a dissertation, titled

  “Diagonalization, Direct Summands, and Resolutions of the Diagonal” (Conservancy),
  beginning with an “introduction for the casual reader,” which I hope is readable!

         Unlike our planet, cyclones on a toroidal Earth may not have an eye of the storm.

• a defense presentation, titled

  “Diagonalization, Direct Summands, and Splitting of Vector Bundles”,
  beginning with a journey to find purpose for splitting things!

Splitting things is in our genetics, religions, and science!
