I am an Associate Professor (aka Reader) at the University of Melbourne working in algebraic topology. I finished my PhD in 2010 at the University of Illinois-Chicago under the supervision of Brooke Shipley. I was a postdoc under J.F. (Rick) Jardine and Benoit Fresse, and worked at UCLA, before coming to Melbourne in July 2015.
My research is in the field of algebraic topology, specialising in the study of up-to-homotopy algebraic structures. Large amounts of my work is focused on the development of models for infinity operads, properads, props and related structures. Recently, I have also been thinking about applications of operads to low dimensional topology and geometry. My daily arXiv briefings include algebraic topology, category theory, and quantum algebra.
My research is supported by an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellowship (FT210100256, 2021-2025) which aims to develop the theory of infinity (modular and cyclic) operads and to use homotopical algebraic structures to study variations on Teichmüller space.
I organise the weekly Topology Seminar with Diarmuid Crowley. The seminar meets on Mondays and is currently running in a hybrid format. Please contact me if you have questions or suggested speakers.
I am currently the Deputy Head of School for the School of Mathematics and Statistics, which largely means that it might be necessary to remind me that I forgot to respond to your email if it has been more than a week.
I am a member of the MATRIX Scientific Committee and am happy to answer questions if you are interested in organizing a workshop at MATRIX.
I am a member of the AustMS EDI committee and the WIMSIG Executive committee. I am always available to chat for members of the Australian math community who might need an outside ear.

The University of Melbourne acknowledges the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia. We recognise the unique place held by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the original custodians of country and their continued connection to the land, waterways, songlines and culture. I am fortunate to live and work on the land of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung peoples. I acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
