This page includes the slides for a number of talks I’ve given, primarily in seminars and book clubs in the CompTaG group at MSU.
Topology for Data Science (T4DS) Workshop
Dr. Brittany Fasy and I are co-organizing the T4DS Workshop for undergraduates, which will occur April 21-22, 2023. We are currently taking applicants! See our flyer
Alongside Brittany Fasy, David Millman and Jordan Schupbach, I created a tutorial project for techniques in TDA and the R ‘TDA’ package in my first year at Montana State University. This culminated in an NSF funded workshop, postponed due to COVID-19 in Spring of 2020 and set to happen in Spring of 2023. The teaser website is here. My work on this was even a featured research preview in the Montana State University News.
R Package ‘TDA’ Documentation
When I first started getting interested in TDA, I worked on documentation for the R package ‘TDA’, which led to the above tutorial project. A summary of that project is included in the poster below.
