Teaching

I am not teaching this semester.

Research

My work is in geometric group theory and low dimensional topology, primarily free groups and limit groups.

• CV
• Research Statement

Papers and preprints

The dimension papers are derived from my dissertation, and extend the notion to varieties defined over free groups.

Krull dimension:

• Krull dimension for limit groups Geometry & Topology 16 (2012) 219-299
• Scott complexity and adjoining roots to finitely generated groups. GGD, accepted.

Not Krull dimension:

• Simple loop conjecture for limit groups (arXiv link. Submitted.)
• Nielsen equivalence of generating sets for closed surface groups. (arXiv link. Submitted slightly different version. Available upon request.)
• Graphs of subgroups of free groups (with D B McReynolds) Algebraic & Geometric Topology 9 (2009) 327-335

In preparation

• A non-strongly accessible group
• Hierarchical accessibility for relatively hyperbolic groups (Joint with Nicholas Touikan) (Explanation available upon request.)
