Postdoctoral Faculty

Scott Bailey
My field is algebraic topology. I am interested in stable homotopy theory.
Juan Ortiz-Navarro
My field is algebraic topology.
Paul Pearson
My field is algebraic topology, and I study the relationship between certain moduli spaces arising in algebraic geometry and their applications to the homotopy of spectra.
