Dr Doty holds a joint appointment between the Departments of Mathematics & Statistics and Computer Science. He is an avid proponent of open-source software, and his current favorite programming language is Python.

His research interests include representation theory, algebraic groups, quantum groups, and finite-dimensional algebras. Dr Doty has held visiting fellowships at a number of international research institutes, including the Mathematical Sciences Research Institutein Berkeley, California and the Universities of Aarhus, Cambridge, Leicester, Manchester, Oxford, and Queen Mary College (London). His research travels have included extended visits to Canada, China, Denmark, Germany, India, Japan, and the United Kingdom. His research has been supported by the National Science Foundation and the National Security Agency in the USA.
