The first session of the PING Talks features Dr. Stanley Chang from Wellesley College.

 

Professor Chang has been teaching pure mathematics at Wellesley College outside of Boston since 2001. His research centers around a subfield of topology called surgery theory. His research monograph on this subject, entitled “A first course in surgery theory,” was published in 2021 in the Princeton Annals of Mathematics Study. Professor Chang’s PhD was received from the University of Chicago in 1999, which he attended after receiving his undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and his master’s degree from the University of Cambridge, where he studied after being selected as a British Marshall Scholar. Other than mathematics research and pedagogy, he has a great passion for classical piano music and ancient and modern languages.
