Awards & Honors
Pomona College, Wig Distinguished Professor Award for Excellence in Teaching, 2012
Scientific American, 2007 SciAm 50 Awards List (with collaborator Robert Ghrist), an annual recognition of 50 science, research and industry teams and individuals with important advances in science. Cited for the development of new algorithms using mathematical homology to analyze whether a network of randomly distributed sensors has gaps or overlaps in coverage -- adding flexibility to wireless sensor network technology (January 2008).
