Research
I enjoy algebraic problems with a combinatorial flavor. If you started out with a well motivated algebraic question but wound up with lots of little complicated pictures, I probably want to hear about it. Some topics I can usually be relied upon to think about: tropical geometry, cluster algebras, flag manifolds and other geometry of Lie Groups, interesting degenerations of algebraic structures, exact results and asymptopics of perfect matchings (eg Arctic Circle phenomena). I also know a reasonable amount of Number Theory and enjoy talking about it, although as yet this is not a research interest.
