Jose Ceniceros' doctoral research focused on the classification of transverse knots in contact 3-manifolds. Currently, he is in the process of defining a combinatorial invariant for transverse knots that will allow for computations. He has a passion for teaching and would like to find ways to better incorporate research into the undergraduate setting.

He holds a bachelor's degree in math from Whittier College, a master's from California State University, Los Angeles, and a master's and doctorate from Louisiana State University. In his limited spare time, he enjoys running, hiking, cycling, and watching movies.
