He has undergraduate degrees in both mathematics and philosophy from Dickinson College, and he received his Ph.D. from Temple University in 2015. Millichap’s research focuses on low-dimensional topology, hyperbolic geometry, and knot theory. In particular, he is interested in understanding the geometry and topology of knot complements (the area surrounding a knot in three-dimensional space). Millichap is also interested in implementing and analyzing non-traditional grading structures, such as mastery-based grading, in his calculus courses.
