I have been thinking about math education for more than fifteen years. An initiation rite for me was the following story. I was training three students for the math olympics in some school. They worked with me for one year without previous trainment. Then they went to the National Mathematical Olympiad in Chile and they obtained the three gold medals that were given that year. In that moment I was very moved and I realized that the method that I implemented (a method that has been evolving ever since) was interesting.
Here is the first (and only until now) research article I did about these ideas, with Jorge Soto-Andrade On the role of corporeality, affect and metaphoring in Problem Solving. We…
Most of my work revolves around some beautiful and central objects in representation theory called Soergel bimodules. I have produced a basis of morphisms between such objects that are called Light Leaves. I am fascinated by them. On the one hand, it is because of them that one can actually compute in Soergel bimodule-land, and on the other, they have some very rich combinatorial structure that is slowly unearthing. My favorite subjects are diagrammatical category theory, categorical braid group actions, modular representations of finite or algebraic groups, Kazhdan-Lusztig theory, categorifications and knot theory. Very nice.

Invited stay in Sydney University, invited by Geordie Williamson, 5th July-25th August.
joint with Ben Elias ; with an appendix by Ben Webster, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society 369 (2017), 3883-3910. We introduce the multicolored Temperley-Lieb 2-category. Using it, we find the explicit numbers for which "Soergel's conjecture in positive characteristic for Universal Coxeter systems" fail.
