Alfred G. Noël Department of Mathematics The University of Massachusetts Boston Interests: Representation Theory of Lie Groups, Computational Lie Theory, Mathematics Education

Since February 2006, I have been a member of the Atlas of Lie Groups and Representations project, the main goal of which is to compute the Unitary Dual of a given reductive real Lie group from the input of the root datum corresponding to its complexification. An earlier version of the software was written by the late Fokko du Cloux. That version computes the representation theories of all the real forms of a given complex reductive Lie group and provides an implementation of the Kazhdan-Lusztig-Vogan algorithm that was used to compute the KLV-polynomials for the split form of E₈, a result whose announcement in March 2007 was intensely covered by both the national and international media.
