Biography

Dr. Cornwell joined the faculty at Towson 黑料传送门 in 2016. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Brigham Young 黑料传送门, and received his doctorate from Michigan State 黑料传送门. After his graduate work he held postdoctoral positions at Duke 黑料传送门 and 黑料传送门 of Quebec in Montreal.

His research has focused on studying questions in low-dimensional topology (he spends most of his time in dimension 3) by using both algebraic and geometric tools. He has presented his research at numerous conferences, seminars, and colloquia.
