Brittany Fasy
Associate Professor
Gianforte School of Computing and
Department of Mathematical Sciences
Dr. Fasy is a researcher in topological data analysis. She co-leads the CompTaG research group, started in Fall 2015. She is interested in increasing diversity in math and CS, as evidenced through serving on the steering committee for women in computational topology and as PI on an NSF grant to bring computer science to rural and American Indian middle school students in Montana through storytelling: MSU Storytelling Group.
Ben Holmgren
Computer Science Graduate
Gianforte School of Computing
Ben Holmgren is a researcher in computational geometry and topology and a software engineer. As an undergraduate, he co-created a tutorial project for techniques in the R-TDA package under the mentorship of Dr. Fasy and Dr. Millman, which led to the creation of the T4DS workshop.
