Biography
I am a mathematician specializing in algebraic topology. My research involves interactions between algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, and mathematical physics. I joined the University of Illinois in 1999, and served as chair of the Department of Mathematics from 2011 to 2016. I am currently the Associate Dean of the Sciences in the College of LAS.
Research Interests
Homotopy theory, formal groups, analysis on loop spaces, elliptic cohomology and representation theory.
Additional Campus Affiliations
Associate Dean, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
