General information
I am currently Szegő Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Stanford University. My research is in topology, especially low-dimensional topology, and often uses representation theory. I am especially interested in moduli spaces, broadly defined. My CV is available. I am an organizer of the Topology Seminar.
Last fall I taught Math 51. My office is 383Y in Sloan Hall (Building 380, on the Main Quad).
