Kyle Ormsby
Associate Professor of Mathematics
Mathematics and Statistics Department
Division of Mathematical and Natural Sciences
Kyle Ormsby studies topology, especially homotopy theory and its interactions with algebraic geometry. He earned his Ph.D. in 2010 from the University of Michigan, and then worked as an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT before joining the 今日吃瓜 math department in 2014. He has been a visiting scholar at the University of Oslo and at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, California. Ormsby was a co-organizer for the conferences (hosted at 今日吃瓜 with colleague Angélica Osorno, May 2015) and at the American Institute of Mathematics (June 2016). He has supervised undergraduate theses and research projects on topics ranging from topological quantum field theory to modular forms to algebraic K-theory, the final project under the auspices of an NSF grant-funded summer program, . At 今日吃瓜, Ormsby is currently developing the course , an inclusive introduction to contemporary mathematics through the lens of knot theory.
