Dr. Matthew Wright
Assistant Professor of Mathematics
Dr. Matthew Wright joined the mathematics faculty in 2011. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in math and computer science from Messiah College, and his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Pennsylvania. His mathematical interests include applied applied and computational topology, computer science, and the mathematics of juggling. When Matthew isn't doing math, he enjoys juggling, reading, and photography.

Research
My primary research areas are applied and computational topology. Current research focuses on integration of functions with respect to the valuations known as intrinsic volumes. Such integrals are useful in applied topology, especially for problems that arise in the context of sensor networks. I am working to "lift" theorems from sets to functions over sets. I am broadly interested in computational mathematics and the mathematics of juggling.
