Name: Loring Tu
Title: Associate Professor of Mathematics
Departmental Affiliation: Mathematics Department
Degrees: Ph.D. Harvard University
Expertise: My research has focussed on three areas of complex algebraic geometry: Hodge theory, degeneracy loci, and moduli of vector bundles over an algebraic curve. Currently, I'm interested in the interface of algebraic topology, differential geometry, and algebraic geometry, more specifically equivariant cohomology.
