Samuel Leblanc

I am a first-year master's student in mathematics at Queen's University, in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, working within the Algebra & Number Theory group, under the supervision of Ivan Dimitrov, Charles Paquette, and David Wehlau. My master's project is about cluster characters, cluster categories, and their connections to representation theory. I completed my bachelor's degree in mathematics at the Université de Sherbrooke, in Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada.

As an undergraduate, I was primarily interested in the representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras and its application to topological data analysis (TDA) and machine learning. During that time, I had the great fortune to work with Marco Armenta, be mentored by Thomas Brüstle, have a project supervised by Jean-Philippe Burelle, and complete an internship with Emily Cliff and Shiping Liu. I am incredibly grateful for their time and guidance.
