"Heegaard diagrams of three-manifolds"

We will represent handle decompositions of three-manifolds diagramatically, and relate them to Heegaard splittings. This will serve as a precursor for Kirby diagrams.

"Yet another proof of the Riemann hypothesis"

In the last few months, I have developed a hobby, which is to find proofs (or disproofs?!) of the Riemann hypothesis. In this talk, I will be sharing some of my favourite ones!

"Brain Network Hubs and Markov Processes"

A new chapter of interdisciplinary research between neuroscience and graph theory has emerged in the last 20 years. In recent joint work with neuroscientist A. N. Prasad, we proposed a model using graph theory and Markov chains to identify "brain hubs" in the neural networks of organisms. We will survey this work and underline some future directions. The talk will be accessible to a general audience.
