Eric Hanson

Eric Hanson is a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the Department of Mathematics at North Carolina State University (NC State), where he works under the supervision of Nathan Reading. Previously, he held postdoctoral positions at the Laboratoire d'Algèbre, de Combinatoire et d'Informatique Mathématique (LACIM) in Montreal (supervised by Hugh Thomas and Thomas Brüstle) and at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) under Aslak Bakke Buan. He completed his Ph.D. in Mathematics at Brandeis University under Kiyoshi Igusa. His research focuses on representation theory of quivers and associative algebras, employing techniques from topology, geometric group theory, and combinatorics. He also explores differential privacy and its applications to data editing and weighting.

Education: Ph.D. in Mathematics (Brandeis University, 2016–2020), supervised by Kiyoshi Igusa. Postdoctoral training includes LACIM (2020–2022) and NTNU (2022–2023).

Research Interests: His primary areas include representation theory of quivers, algebraic combinatorics, topological data analysis, and τ-tilting theory. He investigates interactions between algebraic structures and geometric/topological methods, with recent work on persistence modules and differential privacy mechanisms.

Scientific Contributions: His recent articles (2023–2025) explore topics like τ-exceptional sequences, torsion classes, and applications of homological algebra to data analysis. These studies emphasize foundational algebraic frameworks and their computational implications.
