Chris Eppolito's Homepage
Hi, I'm Chris Eppolito, a mathematician. I got my Ph.D. in mathematics at SUNY Binghamton, where I specialized in matroids and related structures (their friends). I then spent two years at The University of the South as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics. I'm currently on the job market, looking for work in Western New York or Northwestern Pennsylvania.
The image at the top is from a hike that took me by the edge of the Cumberland Plateau (imagine taking a selfie in 2023).
If you have any questions or comments, please email me at eppolito[dot]math[at]gmail[dot]com. I'm always looking to improve the design of these pages. Please let me know if you have an idea that would make this space better :)
Mathematics
I am interested in combinatorics, algebra, geometry, and topology. My true passion lies in the connections between these areas and various flavours of matroid theory. Lately I've been thinking about hyperplane arrangements and graphs with group-labelled edges (aka gain graphs). For a more detailed summary of my research interests, see my research statement or my research page.
You can find me on the Mathematics Genealogy Project website. For a summary of my teaching experience, see my teaching page. For a short summary of my teaching philosophy, see my teaching statement.
Programming
Most of the programs I write are for my own amusement. I'm partial to writing Haskell—it fits pretty well with how I think—but I have experience with many languages including, e.g., Python3, Rust, and various Lisps (among others).
Have a look at my programming page to see some projects I want to highlight. It's pretty sparse at the moment, but it will expand as time progresses.
