I am a postdoc at UW, my mentor is Jarod Alper. 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 the 120-students section of linear algebra, and a class on algebraic complex surfaces.

For the class on complex surfaces, I will partially follow Beauville's book, and Kollár - Mori. I am planning on presenting a modern approach on the classification of surfaces, using the MMP. If time permits, I will talk about moduli of surfaces of general type.

Before this quarter, but while at UW, I taught linear algebra (several times) and introduction to group theory (abstract algebra).

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