Esther Banaian


I am moving my website address to https://sites.google.com/view/esther-banaian/home. This website will slowly become out-of-date.

In Fall 2024, I am beginning as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of California - Riverside. I previously was a postdoc in the Homological Algebra group at Aarhus University and I graduated from the University of Minnesota where I worked with Gregg Musiker.  Here is my CV.

 The best way to contact me is through email: estherbanaian(at)gmail(dot)com or estherb(at)ucr(dot)edu.  Current students should use the latter.

Research Interests: Algebraic combinatorics, especially cluster algebras, representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras, enumerative combinatorics, hyperbolic geometry.

One of my favorite mathematical objects is a frieze pattern. Check out the wonderful introductory video below by Dr. Sergei Tabachnikov) 

When I am not doing math, I enjoy running, biking, cooking, learning new languages, and playing cribbage

(If you are having doubts about pronouncing my last name, you can listen to my father pronounce it in the first five seconds of this video.)
