About
The research area in Pure and Applied Topology covers includes algebraic topology, low-dimensional topology, the theory of knots and braids, homological algebra, contact geometry, and computational topology, as well as applications in topological data analysis and mathematical physics. We run a regular seminar and routinely host visiting and postdoctoral researchers.
