Biography

I am a 5th year Ph.D student. My advisor is Professor Rinat Kedem.

Research Interests

  • Cluster Algebra of Surface Type
  • Representation Theory

Research Description

My research is about finding out combinatorial interpretation of cluster algebra. I am interested in a combinatorial formula that allows for the Laurent expansion of a cluster variable within any cluster algebra originating from a punctured orbifold. The other thing I'm interested in is a combinatorial expansion formula that provide skein relations for elements within a cluster algebra derived from a punctured surface, specifically for cluster algebras of surface type.
