Rob Oakley

I am a sixth year Ph.D. candidate in math at Temple University working with Dave Futer, and I will graduate in the spring of 2025. My Ph.D. research lies at the intersection of low-dimensional topology and geometric group theory. You can learn more about my research by visiting my research page. I completed my B.S. in math at Concordia University Texas in December of 2018.

I also played varsity soccer during my undergrad, and I am a youth soccer coach with the Philadelphia Union in my spare time. In addition to my pure math research, I am interested in sports analytics research. You can  find some of my work on sports analytics at my github page.

Here is a copy of my CV

I  share in Federico Ardila's Axioms:

• Mathematical talent is distributed equally among different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries. 

• Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences. 

• Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs. 

• Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
