About me

I am a senior research fellow at the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics working in low-dimensional topology.
My research interests include knot concordance, link cobordisms, embedded surfaces in 4-manifolds, and Heegaard Floer homology.

M.Sc. thesis

  1. On infinite families of non-quasi-alternating thin knots. PDF

    WARNING: I was not familiar with citing conventions back then, so sadly you will not find proper references for theorems, propositions, and parts of the expositions.
