   I decided to see how my research has changed over time by making word clouds based on Google Scholar.

   Here's what I wrote about from 1985 to 1995. At this early stage of my career I was doing traditional mathematical physics. I got tenure based on my work on quantum and classical field theory - for example, scattering and complete integrability for classical field theories like Yang-Mills theory.

   After I got tenure, I got excited about how knot theory is connected to quantum gravity.
