Matthew B. Young

I am an Assistant Professor at Utah State University.

My curriculum vitae can be found here.

My research is partially supported by NSF grant DMS-2302363 and NSF CAREER award DMS-2440471. Previously, by research was supported by a grant from the Simons Foundation Simons Foundation [MPS-TSM-00853541, M.B.Y.].

My research lies at the intersection of representation theory, geometry and algebra and related mathematical physics. More specifically, I study quantum groups and matrix factorizations and their roles in Donaldson-Thomas, Chern-Simons and Rozansky-Witten theories. I am also intested in applications of the above topics to problems in quantum information theory.

Together with Nathan Geer, Mark Hughes and Maggie Miller, I organize the Moab Topology Conference.
