Lectures at MSRI on my joint work with Mikhail Khovanov on categorification of quantum groups.
I am interested in topological quantum field theory, homological algebra, and representation theory.
Right now I am working on categorification of quantum groups with Mikhail Khovanov.
I have also worked on the following topics:

My mathematical papers tend to have lots of diagrams. I draw
many of the diagrams using XY-pic. I have a
tutorial that explains how I use XY-pic to make braids,
cobordism, string diagrams, and many other diagrams. The format I use is less
traditional than the format presented in the xy reference manual, but I hope that it is more intuitive.
