Research

Mathematical quantum physics. Here is a list of my publications.

Talks on YouTube

Three of these are intended for a broad audience of mathematical physicists.

• Tensor categories and quantization in the quantum Hall effect Seminar of the International Association of Mathematical Physics
• Classification of quantum phases Global Noncommutative Geometry Seminar
• Topological quantum transport Seminar of the International Association of Mathematical Physics
• A topological index for time-reversal invariant phases Slightly more technical · Summer school at CU Boulder

Here is a list of upcoming seminars, including those of the DG–MP–PDE group.

Teaching

“Call to mind from whence we sprang:
Ye were not form’d to live the life of brutes
But virtue to pursue and knowledge high.”

Service to the community

Since January 2024, I am an officer of the Executive Committee of the International Association of Mathematical Physics.

Short CV

I was born in the shadow of these mountains, studied next to those, got my doctorate facing more mountains, explored those for a few years, moved closer to the original ones, and am currently enjoying other wild peaks. Needless to say, I have been very lucky.
