Ryan Grady, Ph.D
Associate Professor of Mathematics
Education
- Ph.D. (2012) and M.S. (2009) University of Notre Dame
- B.S. (2007) Colorado School of Mines
Research Interests
My research program is (broadly) to study the geometry and topology of manifolds through techniques of quantum field theory (QFT) in a mathematically rigorous setting. In addition, I study some fundamental connections between QFT, derived geometry, and higher Lie theory.
Teaching Interests
I'm interested in rough draft thinking and its implementation in "transition to higher maths" courses. Moreover, I am passionate about issues of identity and justice in post-secondary education.
