Joshua Cruz, Graduate Student

Joshua Cruz

I am a graduate student of Les Saper. For my thesis, I have been calculating L2 cohomology groups of incomplete metrics coming from singular complex varieties. This work is an interesting example of the interplay between analysis and topology.

I have done work in several other fields as well, including mathematical neuroscience, applied sheaf theory, and applied topology more broadly.

Please note: Joshua has left the Mathematics department at Duke University; some info here might not be up to date.

I am a student of Les Saper, with broad interests in algebraic topology and complex geometry. I am also interested in many other fields of mathematics, including geometric analysis, functional analysis, representation theory, stochastic analysis, and applied topology, especially persistent homology.
