Hello, my name is Kevin,

I am a 6th year Ph.D. student in mathematics at Boston College, my advisor is Prof. Dr. John Baldwin.

My area of interest is low-dimensional topology, specifically using computational methods to solve knot detection problems.

I am creating a program that can encode train tracks on the disk.

I am also interested in the application of machine learning to finding relationships between knot invariants.

My inspirations: John Baldwin. Lisa Piccirillo. Kyle Hayden. Joshua Greene. Nate Stemen. Eli Grigsby. Rafael De Los Santos. Gilles Castel. Mark Hughes.

Upcoming Travels

5 December – 7 December 2025: Georgia Tech, Tech Topology 2025. I will be giving a lightning talk!

8 November 2025: Yale University, New Haven, CT, U.S.A. GATSBY Fall 2025.

If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be W.B.R. Lickorish’s An Introduction to Knot Theory. I am an introduction to mathematical Knot Theory; the theory of knots and links of simple closed curves in three-dimensional space. I consist of a selection of topics which graduate students have found to be a successful introduction to the field. Three distinct techniques are employed; Geometric Topology Manoeuvres, Combinatorics, and Algebraic Topology.Which Springer GTM would you be? The Springer GTM Test
