Facundo Mémoli works in applied and computational topology and geometry, developing mathematical tools to compare and analyze shapes, networks, and data sets that live in different or noisy coordinate systems. Much of his work centers on persistent homology (a way of tracking shape features across scales) and variants of the Gromov-Hausdorff and Gromov-Wasserstein distances (ways of measuring similarity between metric spaces), with applications to data analysis and geometry. Students working with him would likely engage with rigorous mathematical theory bridging topology, metric geometry, and data science.

Publication output has been fairly steady over the past decade, averaging around 8-16 papers per year, with a slight recent decline in the most current years (2024-2025), though this may partly reflect indexing lag.
