I'm an assistant professor at UIUC. I received my PhD from the University of Chicago in June 2000, under the direction of Kevin Corlette. In 2000--2004 I was an assistant professor and NSF postdoctoral fellow at Michigan with Bill Fulton as my NSF supervisor. In spring 2002 I visited MSRI as a postdoctoral fellow. In 2007-2008 I was a Beckman Fellow in UIUC's Center for Advanced Study. In Autumn 2008 I'll be having "open office hours" for graduate students to come to talk to me about whatever they like (well, hopefully mathematics). They'll be on the following Fridays from 4-4:45 p.m.: August 29, September 12, September 26, October 10, October 24, November 7, November 21.

In March, 2009, David Ben-Zvi and I are organizing a session of the AMS sectional meeting on Algebraic Geometry, Representation Theory, and Topological Field Theories. ``The motivation for a physicist to study 1-dimensional problems is best illustrated by the story of the man who, returning home late at night after an alcoholic evening, was scanning the ground for his key under a lamppost; he knew, to be sure, that he had dropped it somewhere else, but only under the lamppost was there enough light to conduct a proper search." --F.
