Invited talks and curriculum vitae.
Research interests: homotopy theory and topology motivated by physics, including functorial field theory, higher and derived differential geometry, factorization algebras, and related areas of homotopy theory.
From October 2023 to May 2024, I taught an online course on functorial field theory and the geometric cobordism hypothesis.
I am currently seeking Ph.D. students. Please email me for additional information.
