SAM EVERETT'S PERSONAL WEBSITE
ABOUT ME
I am a third-year Ph.D. student studying theoretical computer science at The University of Chicago. I am advised by David Cash and supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. My main research area is complexity theory (mathematical logic more broadly), especially its applications in dynamical systems and other areas of mathematics.
My email is the concatenation of sam and e with @uchicago.edu.
