Thesis Synopsis

My research concerns the theoretical foundations of topological data analysis (TDA). Work done in the last several years on theory and applications of TDA has demonstrated that TDA offers a principled, flexible, and computationally viable framework for studying coarse-scale global geometric features of data [17, 26, 13, 7, 11, 10, 8, 24]. Moreover, the tools of TDA have proven to be very well s...
