My Grad Life

My Research

For my advanced topics oral exam, which I took and passed on March 8th, 2022 (International Women's Day),  I read and prepared a talk on "The Geometry of Iterated Loop Spaces" by J.P. May.

Below you can find the materials I used and crafted to prepare: 

• My copy and tex of "The Geometry of Iterated Loop Spaces"

• A comprehensive presentation guide I created to prepare for said oral exam 

• A written guide for my oral exam presentation

• A collection of notes of seminar talks I have given in Topolodays

Now I am interested in exploring the world of equivariant homotopy theory and you read more about my journey there under the "My Research" Tab. 

I do not recommending picking up May's text and reading it as a textbook as I found that it requires too much background knowledge, but below you can find some resources to get some of that background knowledge and intuition: 

• What is an Operad? Pt.1 Pt.2 by Tai-Danae Bradley 

• What is an Operad? by Jim Stasheff 

• Loop Spaces and Operads by Maru Sarazola 

Other documents about related to my  research can found on the My Research page.

My Talks

Below are some slides of talks I have given. Not all of them are directly related to my current research: 

My People

Studying math can get kind of lonely so finding community in grad school is super important! 

Here is what my community looks like!
