Colin C. Adams serves as the Thomas T. Read Professor of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Williams College, where he holds a tenured full professorship.
His academic background includes a B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1978) and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1983).
Professor Adams specializes in geometric topology with emphases on knot theory, applied topology, and tiling theory. His research explores virtual knots, quandles, and topological structures through courses like MATH 321 (Knot Theory) and MATH 421 (Quandles, Knots and Virtual Knots), reflecting his contributions to classifying spatial embeddings and algebraic topology frameworks.
The department he belongs to received the American Mathematical Society's 2014 Exemplary Program Award, recognizing its excellence in undergraduate mathematics education.
