Teaching History of Kristen Hendricks

Teaching, Mentoring, and Service

In Fall 2024 I am teaching Math 411: Mathematical Analysis I.. I am an organizer of the Rutgers Geometry/Topology Seminar, the math department coordinator for the DIMACS REU, and the faculty adviser for the Rutgers Student AWM Chapter..

Undergraduate research supervision through Rutgers's DIMACS REU:

Concordance invariants of satellite knots, Summer 2023. Co-supervised with A. Mallick. This project led to this paper.
Relationships between combinatorial knot invariants, Summer 2021. This project led to this paper, now published by Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal.
Algebraic invariants of pretzel knots, Summer 2020. This project led to this paper, now published by Journal of Knot Theory and its Ramifications.

Undergraduate research supervision through MSU's Exchange Research Program:

Combinatorial knot Floer homology and immersed curves, Fall 2017. Co-mentored with K. Raoux.

Undergraduate research supervision as a TA for the Columbia Topology REU:

Heegaard Floer Homology and the Fundamental Group, Summer 2013. Project Head: Jen Hom. This project led to this paper.
Knot Floer Homology and Concordance, Summer 2012. Project Heads: Jen Hom and Peter Horn. This project led to this paper.
Knot Floer Homology: Properties and Computations, Summer 2011. Project Head: Jen Hom. This project led to this paper.
