Minicourses

I was invited to give a minicourse about expander graphs at the summer school geometric group theory without boundaries (20–31 July 2020, virtual). The recordings of the talks are available here.

I was also invited to give a minicourse on expander graphs at the Graduate Student Concentration Week on Metric Geometry 25–29 July 2022 - Texas A&M
