Celebrating faculty: Jon Dahl

What is the focus of your research/area of expertise?

My background is in geometric analysis with a focus on optimization problems in metric geometry. I also have interests in cryptography and the theory of computation.

How do students benefit from your scholarship and research?

I have helped students explore beyond our core curriculum supervising independent study projects and serving on thesis committees, guiding students in areas such as combinatorial optimization, complexity classes, cryptocurrency, and cybersecurity.

What will you be teaching in the fall?

I am currently scheduled for CS150: Data Structures and Algorithms and DS201: Principles of Data Science
