Calvin McPhail-Snyder, Phillip Griffiths Assistant Research Professor
I am interested in mathematical physics, topology, and algebra. More specifically, I study quantum invariants of knots and 3-manifolds, and in particular connections to hyperbolic geometry; much of my work is inspired by or related to the Volume Conjecture. Physically this has to do with Chern-Simons theories with complex (noncompact) gauge group. - Contact Info:
