This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049), provides $122,662 to investigate several research questions in topology at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. Specifically, the award supports three projects exploring how properties of three-dimensional knots and manifolds can be represented by two-dimensional information like braids and maps on surfaces. The research also has potential applications to open questions in contact geometry, the study of three-manifolds, and knot cabling. In addition, the grant funds career preparation events, math circles, and a distinguished speaker series aimed at broadening participation in STEM fields.
