Upcoming Talks

I will be giving talks at the following events:

• Colloquium Speaker at MSU Denver, March 15, 2019
  • Representations of the Braid Groups: The braid groups surprisingly show up in many different topological and algebraic settings. This talk will be an introduction to the braid groups, their representation theory and some applications to knot theory and topological quantum computation.
• 2019 National Math Festival, Washington DC, May 4, 2019
  • Title: A Fine Art of Problem Solving: How Mathematicians Use                           Braids to Save the Day and Take Over the World, One Ribbon at a Time
