Hi! I'm Colin Defant. I was a student in the Duluth REU in 2016. I returned as an advisor during the summers of 2017-2022. During those years, I provided several of the research problems for the students. Starting in 2023, Joe and I have run the program together. The current plan is for me to continue running the program with Joe in Duluth until I get a tenure-track position (I'm currently a postdoc at Harvard), at which point the program will likely move to wherever I go. Here is my personal website.
