Cary Malkiewich

Cary Malkiewich is an Associate Professor at Binghamton University since 2017, holding a Ph.D. from Stanford University (2014). His research focuses on algebraic topology, with emphasis on stable homotopy theory, algebraic K-theory, and applications to manifolds and cell complexes. A key contribution is his 2022 proof that scissors congruence is described by a Thom spectrum, advancing its implications in geometric topology.

Research interests include exploring scissors congruence groups, homotopy theory, and their connections to K-theory and geometric structures. Notable work includes studies on parametrized spectra, periodic-point structures, and functoriality in equivariant cobordisms. He has published extensively on topics such as homological stability, topological restriction homology, and categorical frameworks for spectra.

His work bridges abstract algebraic structures with geometric intuition, with recent focus on foundational aspects of scissors congruence and topological cyclic homology.
