J. Peter May

Jon Peter May (born September 16, 1939) is an American mathematician, working in the fields of algebraic topology and category theory. He is one of the pioneers of abstract homotopy theory, and invented operads.

He received a B.A. from Swarthmore College in 1960, and a Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1964. His thesis, written under the direction of John Moore, was titled "The cohomology of restricted Lie algebras and of Hopf algebras: Application to the Steenrod algebra". From 1964 to 1967 he taught at Yale University. He has been a faculty member at the University of Chicago since 1967, and a Professor since 1970.
