معرفی
Zajj Daugherty is an Associate Professor in the Department of Math & Statistics at Reed College. Their research focuses on combinatorial representation theory, specializing in diagram algebras such as Temperley-Lieb, Brauer, and BMW algebras, with connections to Lie algebras, quantum groups, and statistical mechanics. They hold a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2010) and an undergraduate degree from Harvey Mudd College.
Research interests include representation theory of diagram algebras, centralizer algebras in tensor spaces, and applications to knot theory and statistical physics. Key areas of exploration involve combinatorial structures like partitions, tableaux, and lattice models to encode algebraic properties. Recent work includes studies on periplectic Lie superalgebras, affine VW supercategories, and quasisymmetric functions.
Publications emphasize algebraic structures and their representations, with notable contributions to Temperley-Lieb algebras, Brauer diagram techniques, and symmetric function theory. Talks span international venues including the University of Melbourne, UC Berkeley, and Dartmouth College.
