Research Interests
- Topics in geometric group theory (a branch of theoretical math which uses topology to answer questions about algebraic objects) including:
- Right-angled Artin groups and CAT(0) cube complexes
- One-relator groups and generalizations
- Orderability of groups
- Ranking systems and alignment classifiers for games of social deduction
- I’m also casually interested in:
- Quantum computing and quantum mechanics
