معرفی
David Freund is a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at Cornell University, affiliated with the College of Arts and Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. from Dartmouth College (2018). His research focuses on low-dimensional topology, particularly algebraic invariants of knots in 3-manifolds and loops in surfaces. He explores virtual knot theory and develops innovative course materials to enhance student engagement in mathematics.
His recent publications address topics in virtual multistrings, matrix-based knot invariants, and minimizing curve intersections under virtual homotopy. Freund teaches courses such as Differential Equations for Engineers (MATH 2930) and Supervised Research (MATH 4900), emphasizing active learning methodologies.
Though no specific awards are listed, his work contributes to both pure topology research and pedagogical innovation in mathematics education.
