Title: Counting Cycles in Directed Graphs
Abstract:
In any directed graph, the cycle packing number is the maximum amount of edge disjoint directed cycles within the graph. In my research, I developed an extension to the Macauly2 software package, which allows a user to input a directed graph and receive the cycle packing number.
Advisor: Professor H. Wu.

Title: Skein algebras of surfaces
We show that the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of any oriented surface F has no zero-divisors and that its center is generated by knots parallel to the boundary of F.
Furthermore, we generalize the notion of skein algebras to skein algebras of marked surfaces and we prove analogous results them.
