Biography

Greg Kuperberg is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Davis. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1991. His research interests encompass a variety of areas including topology, combinatorics, quantum algebra, quantum probability, quantum computing, and geometric topology. Kuperberg's work often involves non-commutative generalizations of mathematical objects described by commutative algebras. He explores quantum probability as it relates to the study of non-commutative algebras of random variables and quantum groups, reminiscent of Lie groups with non-commuting coordinates. His contributions to mathematics include significant publications in prominent journals, addressing intricate topics such as knottedness and the challenges in approximating Jones polynomials. In addition to his research, Kuperberg has received several honors, including the NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Mathematics in 1991, a Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship in 1998, and being named a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2012. He actively teaches and shares his knowledge in advanced mathematics courses.
