Research Interests:
- knot theory

Background:
I do research in low-dimensional topology and geometric group theory. I am particularly drawn to questions involving graphs and graph homology. I also spend some of my time on Math Overflow and Math Stack Exchange. I enjoy giving general-audience talks, so if you are a member of the community who is interested in having me speak at your organization, feel free to email me. I am an active member of the local community, being a board member of two local Tibetan Buddhist organizations, Losel Shedrup Ling and Milarepa Osel Cho Dzong.
