Biography

Nick Meyer is a second-year Mathematics graduate student at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. His current interests are primarily in Knot Theory and Low-Dimensional Topology. His previous work involved the Topology of Dynamical Systems and the classification of the low-dimensional classical matrix groups. A copy of my CV is available here.
