After postdocs at Purdue and Wesleyan Universities, I came to UL Lafayette in Fall 2007. My research interests are in algebraic topology, with a focus on stable homotopy theory, especially from the chromatic perspective. My work often relates to developing the theory of spectra with a continuous action by a profinite group.
