Quoc Ho

Quoc Ho is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). He organizes the Algebra and Geometry Seminar at HKUST and focuses on advanced research at the intersection of geometric representation theory and quantum knot invariants. His work employs techniques from higher category theory and homotopy theory.

Education: Ph.D. from the University of Chicago (2017), advised by Ngo Bao Chau and Dennis Gaitsgory. Undergraduate degree from Princeton University.

Research Interests: Geometric representation theory, quantum knot invariants, categorification, factorization algebras/homology, quantum groups, and homological stability. He explores these areas through interdisciplinary methods, including factorization homology and homotopical algebra.

His recent papers address topics like Hecke categories, homological densities, character sheaves, and mixed geometry, often collaborating with Penghui Li. His work bridges algebraic geometry, topology, and category theory, with applications to knot theory and representation theory.

While no academic awards or grants are explicitly listed, his research contributions reflect significant scholarly activity. His advising and lab affiliations are not detailed here, but his extensive publication record indicates active mentorship and collaboration.
