Summary

_My research field concerns knot theory in particular and low dimensional topology in general. I began in classical knot theory. During my PhD, I worked on Khovanov and Heegaard-Floer homologies; I generalized their constructions, the former to some diagrammatic notion of constrained links, and the latter to topological singular links. Now, my research essentially focusses on the study of combinatorial models emerging from topology, and their application to topology and to other fields of mathematics.

_Thus far, my main research field concerns the combinatorial aspects of knotted surfaces in dimension 4, et especially their study via cut-diagrams. But I still keep some interests in 3-dimensional topology, including finite type invariants. Beside that, I work on applications of topological tools in other fields. My main contributions are on quantum code theory, constructing quantum error correcting code families.
