Sergei Chmutov works in topology and combinatorics, focusing on knot theory and graph/ribbon-graph invariants, including concepts like partial duality, the Tutte polynomial, and Thistlethwaite-type theorems relating knots to graphs. This area studies how mathematical objects like knots, knotoids (open-ended knot-like curves), and graphs drawn on surfaces (ribbon graphs or hypermaps) can be described and classified using algebraic invariants such as polynomials.

Publication output has been modest but fairly steady over the last decade, with a slight uptick in recent years (2024-2025) after some gaps around 2018-2019.
