Where To Find Me

Upcoming events:

  1. Invited Speaker at the AMS Special Session on Algebraic Structures in Knot Theory and 3-Dimensional Topology, AMS Spring Western Sectional Meeting, March 2026

Here is a YouTube recording of a talk I delivered at the Simons Semester: Summary Workshop on Knots, Homologies, and Physics at the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

Here is a photograph from the N+12th Southern California Topology Colloquium taken right after my talk. The slide illustrates one family of torsion elements in the skein module of (S1 × S2) # (S1 × S2).
