Biography

I am a Topologist and I mainly work on Knot Theory, including topics as Universality of Knots, The Kervaire conjecture, Contact manifolds, Cable knots and more. I am interested in applications of topology to other areas of knowledge, specially to Computational Linguistics.

Other areas of interest are 4-manifolds, Trisections, Khovanov Homology, Heegaard-Floer Homology, and Persistent Homology.

Interests

  • Low dimensional Topology,
  • Contact Topology,
  • Topological Data Analysis,
  • Computational Linguistics

Education

  • Visiting Assistant Professor, 2017

    University of Iowa

  • Postdoctoral Position, 2015

    Center of Research in Mathematics

  • Ph.D. in Mathematics, 2014

    National Autonomous University of Mexico
