Research<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The focus of my work is Topological Data Analysis (TDA), which studies the \u201cshape\u201d of data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I develop new tools for summarizing and visualizing large, complex, high-dimensional data by combining ideas from topology, statistics and machine learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am developing foundations for quantifying the topological and geometric structure of data using ideas from topology, algebra, analysis, and category theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, I work with collaborators to use these ideas to analyze data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research Network<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I was the Founding Director of the Applied Algebraic Topology Research Network<\/a>. I currently serve on its Advisory Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I am an Editor of Foundations of Computational Mathematics<\/a>.
I am an Editor at Homology, Homotopy and Applications (HHA)<\/a>.
I am an Editorial Board Reviewer of Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR)<\/a>. <\/span>
I have been an Associate Editor of the SIAM Journal on Applied Algebra and Geometry (SIAGA)<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I obtained my Ph.D. at the University of Toronto in 2003 and was a postdoc at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland from 2003 to 2005. From 2005 to 2015 I was at Cleveland State University, and since 2015, I am at the University of Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Events and Publicity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I gave an Invited Address<\/a> at the Spring 2025 Southeastern Sectional Meeting of the American Mathematical Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I organized the conferences UF TDA 2024<\/a>, UF TDA 2023<\/a>, UF TDA 2022<\/a>, UF TDA 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I gave ten lectures, three group work sessions, and three computer labs at the NSF\/CBMS conference<\/a> on Topological Data Analysis and Persistence Theory<\/a> at Valdosta State University, August 8-12, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See the following AAAS EurekAlert<\/a> for news on one of my research projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My research is supported by the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS)<\/a> of the National Science Foundation (NSF)<\/a> through the program Computational and Data-Enabled Science and Engineering in Mathematical and Statistical Sciences (CDS&E-MSS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
