Ben Ward
| Welcome. I am a PhD student in the mathematics department at Purdue University.
Email: wardbc at math dot purdue dot edu Office Hours: by appt. Research:
In my research I study algebraic structures arising in topological and geometric contexts. In particular, in my
doctoral work I am using tools such as operad theory and homotopical algebra to address questions arising from
moduli spaces, string topology, physics, and deformation theory. My
advisor is Ralph Kaufmann. Algebr. Geom. Topol. 12 (2012), no. 5 p1487–1551. with Ralph Kaufmann and Javier Zuniga Teaching: none this semester. |
