Research Interests

I am interested in most things topology and applied topology.  My last two years have focused on building a theory of persistence for stratified mappings to manifolds.  This involves stratification theory, intersection theory, 2-categories, and 2-sheaves.  I will be a member at the Institute for Advanced Study starting in Fall 2014.
