Biography

Shmuel Weinberger is the Andrew MacLeish Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Chicago. His research interests span a broad spectrum of geometry and topology, focusing primarily on manifolds, the range of possible metrics, group actions, and stratified spaces. He investigates homology manifolds, various invariants, and large scale geometry of discrete groups within natural large scale metric spaces. Recently, his work has included an examination of spaces with discontinuous functions, processes involving large networks, and their scientific applications. He emphasizes quantitative applied topology in his current research projects, aiming to advance the understanding of these complex structures.
