After postdocs at Purdue and Wesleyan Universities, Dr. Daniel Davis came to Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ Lafayette in Fall 2007. His research interests are in algebraic topology, with a focus on stable homotopy theory, especially from the chromatic perspective. His work often relates to developing the theory of spectra with a continuous action by a profinite group.
