Robert Lipshitz

I am a faculty member in the Mathematics Department at the University of Oregon.

Research

I work mainly on applications of symplectic geometry, homological algebra, and algebraic topology to low-dimensional topology. Here are my research papers and computer code used in them; slides from a few of my past talks (mostly very old); and documentation of Bohua's Zhan's package bfh_python for bordered Heegaard Floer homology computations.
