Research Interests

Algebraic geometry, moduli problems, invariant theory, representation theory. See my research page for more detail.

About Me

Me juggling 6 balls at the Awesome Show in Spring 2011. Photo by Keith Conrad. Full story here.

I'm currently a postdoc (Bateman Research Instructor) in the Caltech mathematics department.

My mathematical interests are largely in algebraic geometry, particularly foundational questions about algebraic stacks. See my Research page for more information. If you're looking to hire me or give me money, you should also look at my CV.

I like TeX and LaTeX. If you do too, have a look at my TeXnical notes and advice on real-time TeXing.

As a real-time TeXer, I've accumulated some course notes that I find to be useful references.

"Blog"

Okay, I don't really blog, but I do sometimes write up something interesting that I think about. Here are some links to those things:

(2016-03-07) Against the odds: a caution to practical Bayesians.
(2015-03-05) Chocolates, bugs, and socks. A few calculations from real life.
(2013-09-23) A bug in my high school physics intuition.
(2013-07-30) Misconceptions about machine learning.
(2012-07-21) Wanted: adaptive navigation app. How to make GPS navigation systems better.
(2012-07-14)  How to write diagram chases. A proposal for how to write diagram chases so that they're readable.

(older entries)

Organization

I'm helping to organize the algebraic geometry seminar and the toric geometry student seminar at Caltech.

In the Winter of 2012, I'm teaching graduate algebraic geometry.

"mathoverflow.net" is a question and answer site for professional mathematicians. I founded it and helped to make it successful. You can read about it in the Notices, from the Simons Foundation, in the Atlantic, and on many different blogs.
