Research Interests

My interests lie in quantum topology and geometric topology, specifically:

Invariants of virtual knots/knots on surfaces,
Topological approaches to the Kashiwara-Vergne conjecture.

Recent Work

Mutation, Surface Graphs, and Alternating Links in Surfaces
Preprint with Hans Boden, Zsuzsanna Dancso, Tilda Wilkinson-Finch.
Mutation Invariants of Alternating Virtual Knots
Honours thesis, supervised by Associate Professor Zsuzsanna Dancso.

Cool Things

Conway/Jones Polynomial Symbol Calculator
A very buggy WASM web app I wrote in Yew, and a link to a non-buggy CLI version of the same tool.
