Luka Marčič

Bio

Hello, I am Luka Marčič, a first year PhD student and young researcher at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. My research topics and areas of interest in mathematics are centered around low dimensional geometric topology, particularly knot and link theory and connections between link theory and the study of 3 and 4-dimensional manifolds. My PhD mentor is dr. Eva Horvat.

In my personal life, I enjoy rock climbing, playing DnD with friends and listening to various kinds of music.
