Has been working on quantum groups, Hopf algebras, tensor categories, Hecke algebras. Developed (with Kazhdan) quantization theory of Lie bialgebras, solving Drinfeld's and Gelfand's conjectures. Proved (with Gelaki) two Kaplansky's conjectures on Hopf algebras. Developed (with Nikshych-Ostrik) a theory of finite tensor/fusion categories. Developed (with Ginzburg) a theory of symplectic reflection algebras (SRA), proving Feigin-Veselov conjectures. Developed (with Varchenko) a theory of dynamical R-matrices. With Schedler, applied D-modules to Poisson geometry.
