Jackson Morris

Jackson Morris (he/they) is a fifth-year mathematics PhD candidate at the University of Washington, with research interests in motivic and chromatic homotopy theory. He is advised by Kyle Ormsby and John Palmieri, and holds a B.S. in Mathematics (University of Kentucky, 2020) and a M.Sc. in Mathematics (University of Washington, 2023).

Research Interests: Jackson’s work focuses on computational methods in algebraic topology, particularly periodicity phenomena in motivic and equivariant stable homotopy theory using the Adams spectral sequence. His recent projects include constructing an exotic image of J spectrum and analyzing its homotopy groups, as well as studying splittings of motivic Brown-Peterson cooperations algebras and cooperations in Hermitian K-theory over finite fields and real numbers.

Teaching: He has taught Calculus with Analytic Geometry III (MATH 126), Matrix Algebra with Applications (MATH 208), and Precalculus (MATH 120) at the University of Washington. He also serves as a math tutor for pre-calculus, linear algebra, proofs, abstract algebra, and topology.

Publications: Jackson’s research trends align with algebraic topology and homotopy theory, emphasizing motivic and equivariant frameworks, spectral sequences, and K-theory applications. He is preparing novel contributions to Adams-Novikov spectral sequence periodicity and structural splittings in motivic homotopy theory.

Biographical: Jackson is actively engaged in academic travel, with upcoming seminars and workshops at CU Boulder, Duke University, University of Kentucky, and the Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM) in Washington D.C. in January 2025.
