Zach Himes

Background

I am a postdoc in the math department at the University of Michigan in the group of Jenny Wilson.
Before that, in 2022-2023 I was a postdoc in the math department at the University of Cambridge in the group of Oscar Randal-Williams. I completed my PhD in May 2022 at Purdue University under the supervision of Jeremy Miller.
I am interested in algebraic topology, specifically homological stability.
