A slightly more accurate picture is here.

Where I Am

I'm currently Professor of Mathematics at the University of British Columbia.


Who I Am

After receiving my Ph.D. in 1993 under Professor David W. Boyd at the University of British Columbia, I held an NSERC (Canada) postdoc in the Department of Pure Mathematics at the University of Waterloo from 1993 to 1995 and an Assistant Professorship in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan from 1995 until 1998. I spent the year 1997-1998 at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, before moving to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I was an Assistant Professor from 1998 until my move to British Columbia in 2001.
