I love writing and learning new things in order to better educate those in need. I also enjoy hackathons and adventures around the world.

Robert Wayne Thomason (5 Nov 1952 Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA – Nov 1995 Paris, France) was an American mathematician who worked on algebraic K-theory. His results include a proof that all infinite loop space machines are in some sense equivalent, and progress on the Quillen–Lichtenbaum conjecture.
