The shuffle of a non-empty countable set of linear orders (the shufflands) is the linear order obtained by replacing each rational in ℚ with an isomorphic copy of one of the shufflands in a homogenous manner.
Collaborating with a fourth-year undergraduate, I co-authored a paper proving that any two countable shuffle linear orders that embed as intervals within each other are order isomorphic.
Image caption: The six columns in this image represent linear orders. Our result asserts that if the first three columns represent isomorphic linear orders, and the same holds for the other three columns, then all six columns are isomorphic

Recognised and explored a connection between finite automata and a class of linear orders arising in logic and representation theory, discovering a new technique for hammock computation for string algebras
Image caption: The red points on the binary tree consitute the language of the automaton on top. Under inorder, the red points form an isomorphic copy of the linear order ω + (ω* × ω*) + ω × (ω* + ω).

A research project with Dr, Amit Kuber and Vinit Sinha in the representation theory of string algebras. We showed that the stable rank of any string algebra is strictly less than ω².

An undergraduate project undertaken under the supervision of Dr. Ashutosh Kumar, in which I generalized the von Neumann hierarchy to a version of set theory with two types of memberships and extended the Conway normal form to base-κ for regular uncountable κ.

A research project with Dr. Amit Kuber to compute the Scott complexities of finitely presented linear orders, a class of finite Hausdorff rank linear orders first introduced by Läuchli and Leonard. We obtained preliminary results for linear orders with low Hausdorff rank.
