Our Team

As an organization, MGGG operates on multiple scales. We have a core group for ongoing Lab activities and a larger group of contributors and collaborators working with us on various projects.

Core Team

A photo of Chris Donnay
Chris Donnay (chris@mggg.org) is a PhD candidate in mathematics at The Ohio State University. His interests are in stochastic topology, redistricting, and computational social choice. As a former high school math and computer science teacher, Chris is also passionate about pedagogy and science communication. He works on many data analysis projects at the lab and is the principal developer for VoteKit.

Moon Duchin (mduchin@mggg.org) founded MGGG at Tufts University in 2016 to focus mathematical attention on redistricting. Her areas of mathematical expertise are in geometry, topology, and dynamical systems. At Cornell University, she is a Professor of Mathematics and Public Policy, with field membership in Applied Math, ORIE, and Information Science.
A photo of Peter Rock
Peter Rock (peter@mggg.org) graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder where he studied discrete differential geometry, at the intersection of computer science and differential geometry. Currently, he works for the lab as a research scientist, and is interested in computational geometry, graph algorithms, and applications to redistricting. Peter manages research code for the lab.
A photo of Parker Rule
Parker Rule graduated from Tufts University with degrees in mathematics, computer science, and STS (Science, Technology, and Society). He is interested in operations research, scientific computing, and computational geometry. He has worked in the lab as a software engineer and researcher, and maintains collaborations on database and high-performance computing projects.
