- Managing Editor for HHA: My highest impact is through my position as a managing editor for Homology, Homotopy and Applications, whose print version is available through International Press.
- Collaborations: I have several active research collaborations over the last few years, especially those with:
- David Blanc (U. of Haifa) and Jim Turner (Calvin University) studying higher homotopy operations, with earlier work on Pi-algebras supported by a BSF grant. We have a long-term book project in progress, in addition to another in our series of articles together.
- Donald Yau (Ohio State Newark) studying general operational structures such as operads and props, together with the structures they naturally act upon. We have published one article together as well as our book, A Foundation for PROPs, Algebras, and Modules, which appeared as Mathematical Surveys and Monographs volume 203. We have been working on a follow-up book for quite a while now, with the delay being my responsibility.
- Hossein Movahedi-Lankarani (Penn State Altoona) and Robert Wells (emeritus, Penn State University Park) studying Lawvere metric measure spaces. Our article in progress provides an abstract treatment of Hausdorff distance, Wasserstein distance and some measure theory for categories enriched over what we call metering categories.
I have also enjoyed starting projects with several other generous mathematicians, especially Dorette Pronk (Dalhousie U.) and Jonathan Scott (Cleveland State U.), but for my published work please see my listing on MathSciNet (my name is sufficiently generic to make normal searches difficult), or my submissions (since 2006) to the arXiv (or with their atom feed).
- Goerss Conference: I was one of the organizers for an NSF-funded conference held at the University of Illinois (at Urbana-Champaign) July 17 to 21, 2017 in honor of my former PhD Advisor, Paul Goerss (Northwestern U.). Along with another of Paul’s former students, Daniel Davis (U. of Louisiana at Lafayette), I then became a (managing) editor for an associated proceedings volume,
which appeared as Contemporary Mathematics volume 729 .
- Conference Sessions Organized:
- I was an organizer of an American Mathematical Society special session at the Jan. 2014 Joint Mathematics meetings in Baltimore, along with a satellite conference at Johns Hopkins
- I was an organizer of an American Mathematical Society special session at the Jan. 2012 Joint Mathematics meetings in Boston, along with a satellite conference at MIT.
- I was corresponding organizer of a special session at the Fall 2009 AMS Eastern Section Meeting in State College, PA, October 24 and 25, as well as an associated mini-conference at Penn State Altoona on October 23.
- I was corresponding organizer of an American Mathematical Society special session at the Jan. 2009 Joint Mathematics meetings in Washington, D. C.
- I was corresponding organizer of a special session at the Fall 2007 AMS Southeastern Section Meeting in Murfreesboro, TN, November 3 and 4.
