Research
My research interests are in hyperbolic geometry and low-dimensional topology. More specifically, I am interested in knot theory and hyperbolic 3-manifolds. A copy of my dissertation is available here.
Papers and Preprints:
Arithmeticity and commensurability of links in thickened surfaces, (with David Futer), in preparation.
Right-angled links in thickened surfaces, submitted.
