New Faculty 2012: Meet Bert Guillou
The Department of Mathematics is excited to welcome professor Bert Guillou to its faculty!
Professor Guillou joins us this fall researching topology, the mathematical study of surfaces. He is interested in homotopy theory, the study of "transforming" one surface or shape into another, a field with applications in quantum physics, robotics, and even molecular biology.
