Daniel Ruberman

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.

Research

Here are

My CV.
A complete list of publications.
Links to recent preprints and a list of older papers.
A brief research description.
Slides from a few talks, and a video of a lecture at MSRI.

Teaching

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

Courses from previous years	Home pages
Math 221b Spring '12: Foliations and contact structures	Syllabus

My Calendar Boston Topology Seminars Calendar

So you want me to write a recommendation ...

Will you accept me as your student....?

I co-organize (with Ruth Charney, Adam Levine, and Kiyoshi Igusa) the Topology Seminar, am the webmaster for the Math Department web page.

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