It deals with homological algebra, complex reflection groups and "higher" representation theory of Lie groups, for example, finite algebras and derived categories.

In 2006 he was awarded the Whitehead Prize and in 2009 the Adams Prize. In 2009 he received the Prix Élie Cartan of the Académie des sciences.
