Research

I am a math Ph.D. student at UConn. My research interests are Topology and its applications. Currently I am working under Dr.Thomas J.Peters in Computational Topology, which integrates geometric topology, knot theory, low-dimensional topology and general topology with applications to computer visualization and simulations.
