I am interested in several aspects of mathematical physics — in particular, string theory and its topological truncations.

This year I am organizing the Math/Physics seminar, whose calendar is available in both iCal and XML feeds. As the name implies, the seminar covers a range of topics of interest to both mathematicians and physicists. Students from both departments are encouraged to attend.

I am additionally organizing a weekly seminar for physics and mathematics graduate students titled "The Geometry and Physics of Gauged Linear Sigma Models." The goal of the seminar is an understanding of the physics & mathematics necessary to compute correlation functions in the A– and B–twisted genus-zero GLSM.

As a graduate student I organized a mathematical topics seminar aimed at beginning physics graduate students. This seminar was intended to rigorously introduce theory students to a selection of math topics they wouldn't normally encounter. A collection of notes for the presentations may be found on my talks page.

My publications (except my senior thesis) are available on the arXiv. A full listing is also available from SPIRES. For those with a few hours to waste, you can read my doctoral thesis in pdf format.
