Research
My research interests are in algebraic and geometric topology, especially stratified spaces, intersection homology, and knot theory.
From 2013 to 2017 my work was supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation (DMS-1308306). Some of my work was also supported by a grant from the Simons Foundation (#209127 to Greg Friedman, 2011-2014).
