Ph.D., Mathematics, UC Berkeley, 1982
My research interests range over low-dimensional topology and knot theory. Most of my recent work has focused on 4-manifolds, using tools of gauge theory.

Most of my courses no longer have home pages; information about assignments, etc., can be found on Latte.

My schedule for the Spring 2008 semester.

So you want me to write a recommendation ...

I organize the Topology Seminar, am the webmaster for the Math Department web page. I also give the French exam; here is some basic information, including a couple of links to lists of French mathematical vocabulary.

Here is my mathematical ancestry, courtesy of the Mathematics Genealogy Project, now run at North Dakota State University.
