My research includes studying and developing vectorization methods for asymptotic behavior of persistence diagrams, and generalizing persistence landscapes for the limiting object. I define a new metric between interval modules and use it for the 1-Wasserstein distance between persistence diagrams. I show the 1-Wasserstein stability of persistence diagrams and L^1 stability of persistence landscapes using this new metric.
