Ryan Budney is an Associate Professor at the University of Victoria specializing in Geometric Topology, which encompasses a broad range of topics in geometry. His research interests include manifolds, knot theory, and the study of configuration spaces as well as embeddings of manifolds. He has been focusing on the construction of a list of the 'smallest' triangulated smooth 4-manifolds and a table of knotted 2-spheres in the 4-sphere. Budney’s work also extends to applied topology, notably persistent homology, which is significant in geometrical problem-solving. With a Ph.D. from Cornell University, Budney is invested in advancing understanding within his field and often engages with students and peers through his research and courses.
