I am a Professor in the School of Mathematics at Georgia Institute of Technology. My research lies in the intersection of low-dimensional topology and geometric group theory. I mainly focus on mapping class groups of surfaces, that is, the symmetries of surfaces. I have published a number of articles and three books on these topics.

Some activities I am involved in:

• Mentorship Discussion Group
• Topology Students Workshop
• Topology Postdocs Workshop
• Mathematics Students Resource
• Algebraic & Geometric Topology
• Advances in Mathematics
• Seminar 234
• Geometry-Topology Seminar (mailing list)
• REU
• RTG

• Geometric Group Theory, JMM, Jan 2022
• Algorithms in Complex Dynamics and Mapping Class Groups, ICERM
• Tech Topology Conference
• No Boundaries: Groups in Algebra, Geometry, and Topology
