I'm a sixth year graduate student at Notre Dame working with Andrew Putman.
My research is in geometric group theory and low dimensional topology. I’m interested in mapping class groups of 3-dimensional handlebodies, whose study is closely connected to that of surface mapping class groups and automorphism groups of free groups. In particular, I study the group cohomology of their Torelli and finite index subgroups.
My email is aholden2@nd.edu.
My CV is here.
Outside of math, I like watching + playing sports, listening to a new album every day, and birding.
