Howy Jordan

👨🏻‍🏫 Mathematician:

  • 🔺 Geometry
  • 🍩 Topology
  • 🤝 Mathematical Physics

especially when Stratified Spaces are involved. 🎁

I am a mathematician and lecturer affiliated with the University of Colorado Boulder (CUB), where I earned my Ph.D. in Mathematics in May 2025 under the supervision of Markus Pflaum.

My research interests lie at the intersection of geometry, topology, and mathematical physics. My work recently has focused on stratifications of infinite-dimesional spaces, gluing bundles over stratified spaces, and investigating applications in quantum mechanics. I am also interested in Topological Data Analysis (TDA), having contributed to projects focused on applications to energy landscapes in chemistry.

In addition to my research, I am dedicated to teaching and student success. At CUB, I have served as instructor for Calculus I and III courses through the Department of Mathematics, as well as coseminar courses for the Student Academic Success Center (SASC). Previously, I was the Mathematics Instructional Specialist at Northeastern Junior College where I provided tutoring and instructed Developmental Mathematics courses.
