nLab John Frederick Jardine

John Frederick Jardine or Rick Jardine is a homotopy theorist at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada. His work on model category structures on simplicial presheaves is fundamental in the subject. His web pages have much course material in homotopy theory, sheaf theory and related subjects.
