Hernando Burgos-Soto

Hernando Burgos Soto is a Canadian (Colombian born) writer and mathematician, professor of mathematics at George Brown College.

[1] He is the author of several math papers in which he introduced some mathematics concepts and extended to tangles some celebrated results of knot theory about the Khovanov homology and the Jones polynomial.

He earned a PhD in mathematics from National University of Colombia in 2009, and completed his dissertation at University of Toronto under the guidance of professor Dror Bar-Natan.

[5] His works include regression diagnostic analysis for General Linear Models,[6] extension to tangles of Morwen Thistlethwaite's result on the alternation of the Jones polynomial for alternating links,[7] and a Lee's result on Khovanov homology for links, that states that the Khovanov homology for alternating links is supported in two lines.

During his works Professor Burgos has introduced some Mathematical concepts such as: Gravity Information in a tangle diagram, Alternating planar algebras, and Rotation Number of Smoothings.
