May 26, 2026	The summer plan is set. The season starts with the International Workshop on Quantum Groups, Categorification and Related Topics in Kunming, China (June 7–12). In June, one will probably encounter me giving a talk at Oberseminar Darstellungstheorie at the University of Bonn on July 17. Later in the summer, you can meet me at Future Directions in Tensor Categories (Bonn, Germany, Aug 17–21) and Tensor Categories in Representation Theory & Vice Versa (Uppsala, Sweden, Aug 24–27).
Feb 06, 2026	Great news! Our paper “The center of the asymptotic Hecke category and unipotent character sheaves” (joint work with Ulrich Thiel) has been accepted for publication in Representation Theory.
