I'm a C.L.E. Moore Instructor at MIT. In 2010, I'll be moving to the University of Oregon, and starting as an Assistant Professor there.
My research is on connections between representation theory, geometry and topology, including Khovanov-Rozansky homology, the geometry of symplectic singularities, and connections of cluster algebras to Lie theory.
In 2007-8, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study attending the Special Year on "New Connections of Representation Theory to Algebraic Geometry and Physics" supported by an NSF Fellowship.
I received my Ph.D. in 2007 from UC Berkeley, under the supervision of Nicolai Reshetikhin, and spent the fall of 2006 at the Center for the Topology and Quantization of Moduli Spaces in Aarhus, Denmark. Before that, I studied at Simon's Rock College and the Budapest Semesters in Mathematics Program.
