Professor Dr. Jason Manning

Biography

Jason Manning is a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Cornell University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 2003. His primary research interests lie in geometric group theory and geometric topology, focusing on the study of infinite discrete groups and their actions on metric spaces, especially negatively curved spaces such as hyperbolic metric spaces. Professor Manning's work often intersects with various aspects of topology and geometry, particularly concerning 3-manifolds. He has contributed significantly to the literature with multiple publications exploring topics such as virtually special subgroups, residual finiteness, and Dehn filling relatively hyperbolic groups. His teaching includes courses such as Calculus II and a seminar on Topology.
