Mentoring

One of my passions is helping young mathematicians find their voice, confidence and see their extreme value in our community. I especially love exposing young students to math research! See UMN Combinatorics REU and Canada/USA Mathcamp and some of my current and past students below.

Research:

Type E Cluster Algebras and Higher Dimers (UMN REU 2024)

Higher Dimers for Cluster Variables in Gr(k,n) (Ryan Chao, Rachel Chen, Rohan Das, and Andrew Sylvester) 

Friezes over Z[sqrt(2)] (Amy Tao and Joy Zhang)

Quivers from Non-Orientable Surfaces (Fenghuan He, Ruiyan Huang and Hanyi Luo)

Root Systems, Highest Weight Polytopes and Exponential Sums (Swapnil Garg, Aidan Kelley, Frank Lu and Siki Wang) see their REU report!

Dimer Models in the Grassmannian (Moriah Elkin) see her latest short symposium!

Directed Readings:

Cluster Algebras and Categories (David Aiken, Ryan Chao, Rachel Chen, Rohan Das,  Liam Reddy and Andrew Sylvester)

Quiver Representations and Representations of Algebras (Erik Brodsky, Paul Hamrick, Gary Hu, Lisa Liu, and Dyne Lee )

Snake Graphs and Continued Fractions (Abigail Goldman-Nagel)

May's Algebraic Topology (Max Lind)

Tropical Geometry in Cluster Algebras (Sophia Benjamin, Max Lind and Evan Ren)

Enumerating Perfect Matchings of Graphs (Alexis Yi)

Applied Graph Theory (Mansi Bezbaruah)
