I am an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at University of California, Berkeley, sponsored by Bernd Sturmfels. My research has focused mostly on moduli spaces, birational geometry, geometric invariant theory (GIT), and tropical geometry. You can find a list of my papers, or view my CV.
I finished my Ph.D. in 2011 at Brown
University in the Mathematics
Department under the supervision of Dan
Abramovich. The
next academic year I was a postdoc at the Institut
für Mathematik, Universität
Zürich.
A few years ago I spent a summer in DC at the National Academy of
Sciences
though a graduate
fellowship program in public policy which I highly
recommend.
And before that, I participated in the Math in Moscow
program,
also highly recommend.
My undergraduate studies were at University of
Washington,
working mostly with Jim
Morrow, Chuck
Doran, Henry Cohn,
and Jerry
Seidler.
Before that, I was home schooled by my hippie parents.
If my last name seems familiar in math, there's a good
chance you know
my brother; he's an
algebraic
topologist.
