Suraj Krishna M S
I am a postdoc in the Mathematics Department of the Technion. My area of research is geometric group theory. Previously, I was at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research.
I graduated in September 2018 with a PhD from the Université Paris-Sud. My advisors were Frédéric Haglund and Thomas Delzant.
Geometric group theory is the study of (infinite) groups via their actions on geometric objects. This approach brings out various connections between algebra and geometry/topology.
A class of groups of interest are "nonpositively curved groups", particularly fundamental groups of nonpositively curved cube complexes. A cube complex is an object built by gluing a collection of Euclidean cubes of various dimensions along their faces.
