Joel Hass works in low-dimensional geometry and topology. His current research projects include constructing random knots and 3-manifolds, minimal foliations, the computational complexity of topological algorithms, and measuring surface similarity. The last topic has applications to problems such as comparing brain cortices, proteins, and bone surfaces.
