Graded Rouquier blocks for Hecke and Schur algebras

Perhaps the most basic object in the world of representation theory is the symmetric group, the group of all ways of rearranging a set of size n. Despite the simplicity of this object, it is still very rich, and its category of representations is a remarkable mixture of combinatorial accessibility, and exceptionally difficult questions. Famously, […]

New technologies for low frequency photoacoustic imaging

This project is focussed on developing an optical imaging technology called photoacoustic imaging. Photoacoustic imaging is able to distinguish healthy tissue from cancerous tissue during breast surgery and could one day eliminate the need for repeat surgeries. The technology uses a pulsed laser to selectively build up pressure in some tissues and microphones to listen […]
