Research

The focus of my work is Topological Data Analysis (TDA), which studies the “shape” of data.

  • I develop new tools for summarizing and visualizing large, complex, high-dimensional data by combining ideas from topology, statistics and machine learning.

  • I am developing foundations for quantifying the topological and geometric structure of data using ideas from topology, algebra, analysis, and category theory.

  • Furthermore, I work with collaborators to use these ideas to analyze data.
