Blake Jackson

I grew up in Hayden, Alabama, and attended college at Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama. I completed my Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa under the supervision of Kyungyong Lee. I am currently an Assistant Research Professor at the University of Connecticut where I am mentored by Ralf Schiffler and Kyu-Hwan Lee. 

I'm on the job market Fall 2024!

Here is my CV.

My research is in algebraic and enumerative combinatorics and representation theory. Within these areas, I have two mathematical focuses: cluster algebras and symmetric functions. My contributions thus far include the geometric modeling of modules over a path algebra of type affine D, the study of the combinatorics of Banff and Louise quivers, studying the geometry of c-vectors for mutation-infinite quivers, and the enumeration of permutations whose reverse is Q-stable under the Robinson-Schensted correspondence. My most recent work uses machine learning techniques to study mutation-acyclicity of rank 4 quivers with promising results and avenues for further research. I am currently generating data and utilizing machine learning techniques to search for a combinatorial bijection on Dyck paths which interchanges the area and dinv statistics, a much sought after bijection in the study of the q,t-symmetry of the q,t-Catalan numbers.
