Hi. My name is Nicholas Hamblet (that's me on the right), and I'm a grad student in mathematics here at the University of Virginia.

My research is in the broad category of Algebraic Topology, but more specifically I'm studying the Calculus of Functors under Dr. Gregory Arone.

Besides mathematics, I'm also into computers and programming (open source, as it should be) and the web, reading (which mostly ends up being math and the web), and I seem to have taken up running as a hobby. I also enjoy origami, particularly the modular sort. The torus I'm wearing in the picture above was made using Thomas Hull's Phizz units, and this schema.

I decided to learn a little bit more about how RSS works, so I made a feed for updates to this page. Since this page doesn't update much, the feed won't either. The feed is available here.
