Francis Wagner

About me:

I am currently a Ross Assistant Professor at the Ohio State University, having begun in Fall 2022.  Before this, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of California, Riverside.

I received my PhD from Vanderbilt University in 2021 under the supervision of Alexander Ol'shanskii.

My research interests lie in geometric, combinatorial, and algorithmic group theory.
