Siddhi Krishna

Siddhi Krishna is a President's Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. Her research focuses on Geometry/Topology, specifically low-dimensional and geometric topology, the topology of 3- and 4-manifolds, and the dynamics of surface diffeomorphisms. She is based in Evans Hall and can be contacted at siddhikrishna@berkeley.edu. Her personal website provides additional information about her work and research interests.

Siddhi Krishna is a researcher specializing in low-dimensional topology and geometric topology, with a focus on braids and foliations. Their work explores the interplay between taut foliations, braid positivity, and the L-space conjecture, contributing to the understanding of knot concordance and unknot detection. Krishna's research also investigates Brunnian exotic surface links in the 4-ball and the properties of -bridge braids in relation to the braid index. Their publications highlight connections between algebraic and geometric structures in low-dimensional spaces, advancing key conjectures in the field. Krishna's academic contributions emphasize the role of positivity and tautness in topological invariants, offering new perspectives on classical and modern problems in geometric topology.
