Hello!
This is the website of Job Daisie Rock. Here are some important bullet points.
I am currently a BOF Postdoc at Ghent University.
I am co-supervising PhD student Francesca Zaffalon with Fatemeh Mohammadi.
I organized a workshop in Ghent, Belgium: [link]
I organized a conference in Málaga, Spain [link]
My PhD advisor at Brandeis University was Kiyoshi Igusa. I defended my disstertation in March 2020. I formally obtained my PhD in May 2020.

A Blurb on Research
I work with continuous versions of historically discrete structures: representation categories, derived categories, and cluster categories. I am interested in how the homological structures of these categories are connected to cluster algebras, Lie algebras, and persistent homology. In the discrete (and usually finite) world there are many connections among these notions. In the world of the continuum, how many of these connections hold or exist in a similar fashion? What can we learn about the discrete structure that was hidden by all the finiteness and discreteness assumptions?
My thesis was Continuous Quivers of Type A, most of which is contained in series of four papers (arXiv link).
