Research interests:

My research is at the interaction between representation theory, low dimensional topology and symplectic topology. I am working on topological models for quantum invariants, such as (coloured) Jones and (coloured) Alexander polynomials and Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants. The aim of this research direction is to create a framework for discovering topological information which is behind these quantum invariants, given by geometrical categorifications or asymptotics when the colour tends to infinity. I am also interested in non-semisimple quantum invariants and TQFT's coming from the representation theory of super quantum groups.

Key words: Low dimensional topology, quantum topology, geometric representation theory, symplectic topology, categorifications.

For academic areas, my last name remains Anghel, but since 20 August 2017, my official name is Palmer-Anghel.
