Personal information

I'm an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

Prior to that, I was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow/Moore Instructor at MIT for the period 2004-2007. I received my Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2004. My advisor was Gunnar Carlsson.

My research interests are in algebraic topology, representation theory, algebraic K-theory, and related fields.


Teaching and seminars

In spring 2008 I am teaching Math 5378, Differential Geometry.

In fall 2007 I taught Math 1001, Excursions in Mathematics.

Some links to pages from my pre-UMN teaching are here.
