Since 1998 he is professor at Pennsylvania State University.
His research interests centers around the Novikov conjecture in differential topology and noncommutative geometry. He is the co-editor of the Journal of Noncommutative Geometry.
In 1996 he was awarded the Whitehead Prize. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[2]
