Research

The main focus of my recent research is magnitude of metric spaces and related aspects of metric geometry, while the bulk of my past research has been in probability, especially random matrix theory and aspects related to convex geometry.

Here is a list of my publications.

Tom Leinster maintains a bibliography of works on magnitude, and here is a list of blog posts about magnitude, diversity, and closely related topics at the n-Category Café.

Teaching

In Fall 2024 I am teaching Math 305 (Introduction to Advanced Mathematics) and Math 307 (Linear Algebra). All course information will be posted on Canvas.

Some other teaching-related material is posted here.
