The topic of my thesis is finding discrete representations of the braid groups into lattices. My approach is to specialize the parameter of the representation to certain Salem numbers and harness the algebraic properties of the Salem numbers to guarantee discreteness of the representation.
I am also interested in combinatorial representation theory, finite type invariants, planar algebras, and quantum computing.
Here is my CV.
Here are some papers I have written.

A Survey of Grid Diagrams and a Proof of Alexander’s Theorem
My Master’s thesis: The Alexander Polynomial
