About me

Hello! I'm Ellis Buckminster, a third year PhD student in Mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania working with Sam Taylor. I use they/them pronouns. I'm interested in low-dimensional topology, mapping class groups, foliations of 3-manifolds, pseudo-Anosov flows, endperiodic maps, and making the math community a place where everyone can thrive. Here is my CV.
