I am a first year mathematics graduate student at Caltech.
I did my undergraduate studies in the College of Creative Studies at UC Santa Barbara, where I received a BS in mathematics.
I study the algebraic theory of topological quantum information. Buzzwords: modular tensor categories, braid group representations, topological phases of matter.
I'm writing a book.
Open problem: Is my favorite number 0?
My CV can be found here.
My email is "milo [at] caltech.edu".
In the past I have been a community member at MathOverflow and Math Stack Exchange, as well as a contributor to the nLab.

If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be Saunders Mac Lane's Categories for the Working Mathematician. I provide an array of general ideas useful in a wide variety of fields. Starting from foundations, I illuminate the concepts of category, functor, natural transformation, and duality. I then turn to adjoint functors, which provide a description of universal constructions, an analysis of the representation of functors by sets of morphisms, and a means of manipulating direct and inverse limits.
