Mathematics
My math interest include Abstract Algebra, Knot Theory, and Complex analysis. I have been in the Algebra UGA VIGRE research group since Aug 2003 on varieties of Lie Algebras. I have also been recently exposed to the exciting world of knots, and on my spare time, I might be seen absentmindedly doodling knots of n-intersections. I have also completed my thesis on Schwarz-Christoffel Transformations under the guidance of Dr. Edward Azoff. My thesis can be accessed here.
