Ioannis Diamantis (I.D.)
I am a geometric-topologist and my primary area of research is knot theory, braid groups and 3-manifolds. My research focuses on the construction of Jones-type invariants for knots and links in 3-manifolds other than the 3-sphere (skein modules), using knot algebras and Markov traces.
