Justin Gebel

Hello! I am a future Masters Student in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McMaster University. My prospective supervisor is Hans U. Boden.

In June 2025, I received my bachelor's degree in mathematics from McMaster University, where I completed a thesis under the supervision of Jenna Rajchgot and Adam Van Tuyl.

.Research.

My research uses algebraic tools to study combinatorial and topological objects. My recent work with Jenna Rajchgot was focused on using geometric vertex decomposition to study Frobenius splittings of toric ideals of graphs.

Currently, I am working on a summer project in knot theory under the supervision of Hans U. Boden. I am partially supported by an NSERC - Undergraduate Student Research Award.

.Teaching.

I have previously been a teaching assistant at McMaster University for Math 1X03  (Calculus I for Math and Stats) and Math 1C03 (Intro to Proofs).
