Dr. Smith joined the Mathematics Department at Saint Joseph’s University in 1995. He served as Director of the Honors Program from 2003-2008. In the fall of 2012, he began serving as the chair of the department. Dr. Smith’s research is in the field of algebraic topology. He studies function spaces using algebraic models for rational homotopy theory.
