Reid Harris

I graduated with my Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in June 2020 under the supervision of Dr. Benson Farb. Since November 2021, I have been a postdoc at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in Shenzhen, advised by Dr. Hou Yong. My mathematical research interests include moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces, geometric group theory, and the mapping class group. Outside of mathematics, I enjoy programming (in C++) and machine learning.
