Currently I am a postdoc at the University of Washington, my mentor is Jarod Alper. Starting from 2024, I will be an Assistant Professor. I got my Ph.D. at Brown University under the supervision of Dan Abramovich.

Research Interests

I am mainly interested in algebraic geometry, with connections to number theory and combinatorics.

I am very interested in anything which falls between birational geometry and algebraic stacks. For example, I am interested in the problem of compactifying moduli spaces of higher dimensional algebraic varieties using birational geometry and the Minimal Model Program, and understanding the geometry of these compactifications.

I find it appealing when one can compute explicit numeric invariants of moduli spaces (such as the Brauer group or the Chow ring), or when one can use algebraic geometry to answer questions from combinatorics.

Teaching

The spring quarter I will teach two 120-students section of linear algebra, on Mon-Wed-Fri.

Before this quarter, but while at UW, I taught linear algebra (several times), introduction to group theory (abstract algebra), and a class on complex algebraic surfaces following Beauville's book, and Kollár - Mori.

While at Brown I taught and TA-ed linear algebra, calculus 1, 2 and math 60 (Analytic geometry and calculus).
