Research Interests

I study topological fixed point theory from the perspective of algebraic topology. I'm particularly interested in the connections between fixed point theory and category theory. These connections give new descriptions of classical invariants that readily generalize and also give new categorical definitions that have applications outside fixed point theory.

Selected Publications

  • Ph.D. Thesis "Fixed Point Theory and Trace for Bicategories".
  • Joint Author of book in preparation with J. Peter May.
