Research

My research interests include three-dimensional topology and knot theory, specifically Heegaard Floer homology and its applications.

More information about my research can be found in my Curriculum Vitae. My research papers are available here.

 

 

Seminars

I coorganize a joint LA Topology Seminar (LaToP) with Aaron Lauda of USC, and Ko Honda and Sucharit Sarkar of UCLA.

I also organize a reading seminar on Heegaard Floer homology and related topics.

I may attend the following seminars:
