In Winter and Spring of 2009 I'm on sabbatical. I have a preprint on ADE planar algebras (under "papers" below). I'm working with Vincent Florens on an Alexander representation of the tangle category, and with Morrison, Peters and Snyder on the extended Haagerup planar algebra.

You might want to look at:

• my cv (in postscript, sporadically updated),
• papers I have written,
• people I know,
• braid groups for non-experts,
• rubik's cubes for experts,
• strawberries.

Occasionally I am inspired to learn about a new programming language, write one program in it, and then never use it again. I have:

• a low-res bichromatic graphical design module, written in Java,
• a program to do simple matrix operations, written in Python,
• a text adventure game, written in Inform. (You need a Z-Machine interpreter to play it. I use Frotz.)

For my own convenience, here is a link to the data on processing times for greencard applications. I applied for an employment-based I-485 in 2007.
