Michael Zshornack

I am an RTG Postdoctoral Fellow at Northwestern University. I earned my Ph.D. in Mathematics at UC Santa Barbara in June 2024 working with Darren Long. 

I am broadly interested in low-dimensional topology and geometric group theory, and how these fields interact with number theory, dynamics and representation theory. In particular, I am interested in lattices, their thin subgroups and in character varieties. For more information on my work, click on the research tab above.
