Benjamin Lent Davis

I am an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Saint Mary's College of California. I came to Saint Mary's from Penn State where I was an S. Chowla Research Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Geometry and Mathematical Physics . My doctorate is from Berkeley where I studied Poisson geometry under Alan Weinstein.
