Józef H. Przytycki

Professor of Mathematics, George Washington University

I have been a professor at George Washington University since 1995. I received my Masters Degree from the University of Warsaw in 1977 and my PhD from Columbia University, where I was advised by Joan Birman.

I since have advised 16 students of my own, who have gone on to various careers in math and beyond.

With my students, 1998

Throughout my employment at GWU, I have also organized the Knots in Washington conference series alongside my students. Knots in Washington allows knot theorists a space to present their current research and collaborate.

New Book with my Students:
Lectures in Knot Theory
