1. In­volve­ment with the NSF VI­GRE grant at Columbia Uni­versity re­work­ing the first- and second-year gradu­ate cur­riculum
2. De­vel­op­ment of a new first-year gradu­ate course (as part of the VI­GRE pro­gram) on groups and their rep­res­ent­a­tions; pre­par­a­tion of lec­ture notes for this course.
3. Pre­par­a­tion of The Seiberg–Wit­ten Equa­tions and Ap­plic­a­tions to the To­po­logy of Smooth Four-Man­i­folds (Prin­ceton: Prin­ceton Uni­versity Press, 1996), an in­tro­duc­tion suit­able for gradu­ate stu­dents to the new and act­ive field of Seiberg–Wit­ten in­vari­ants.
4. Par­ti­cip­a­tion as a lec­turer in four dif­fer­ent sum­mer schools over the course of three years (in China, Hun­gary, France, Italy) in an at­tempt to spread the un­der­stand­ing of the new res­ults in Seiberg–Wit­ten the­ory to gradu­ate stu­dents and young postdoc­tor­al fel­lows around the world.
5. With sev­en oth­er ed­it­ors, ed­ited Quantum Field The­ory, Su­per­sym­metry, and Enu­mer­at­ive Geo­metry (Provid­ence, RI: Amer­ic­an Math­em­at­ic­al So­ci­ety, 1999) an at­tempt to render the lan­guage, ideas and res­ults of mod­ern high en­ergy the­or­et­ic­al phys­ics (quantum field the­ory and string the­ory) ac­cess­ible to the math­em­at­ic­al com­munity.
