RESEARCH INTERESTS

I am interested in algebraic geometry over the complex numbers. The problems that attract me most are those that have emerged from close interactions with string theorists. These include: stability conditions on the derived category of coherent sheaves (d-branes) and enumerative problems for counting curves (Gromov-Witten invariants). The two problems are closely related via mirror symmetry when the ambient space is a Calabi-Yau threefold, but they are quite interesting more generally. I am also interested in applications to representation theory and commutative algebra.
