I like to study algebraic phenomena in low-dimensional topology. Though my interests are constantly evolving, currently, I am engaged in two programs:
constructing stable homotopy refinements for deformations of Khovanov homology
describing gluing formulae for skein lasagna modules (with n-dimensional inputs, irrespective of link theory)
I would like to explore more deeply the following:
connections between quantum link invariants, skein theories, and higher algebra (one of my next pastures, after graduate school)
immersed curves in Khovanov homology (had a first pass with this as part of Kristen Hendrick's and Akram Alishahi's project group at the Research Collaboration Workshop in Contact and Symplectic Geometry/Topology)
Publications/Preprints:
A (re)proof of Gluck twist insensitivity for Khovanov skein lasagna modules, in preparation

A gluing formula for skein modules with 1-D inputs, in preparation (joint with Gage Martin)
