Ben Balsam My name is Benjamin Balsam. I received a B.S. degree in engineering from The Cooper Union in 2007. I am a third-year graduate student in the mathematics department at Stony Brook University. Currently, I am studying knot theory and representations of Lie groups/Lie Algebras. My advisors are Alexander Kirillov, Jr. and Oleg Viro. I love talking about math and also meeting new people, so please let me know if we have any overlapping interests. Thanks for visiting!
