Samuel Leblanc

I am a first-year master's student in mathematics at Queen's University, in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, working within the algebra 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.
