Research

My interests center around the study of the derived category of a variety and its applications to other subfields of algebraic geometry, such as birational geometry and moduli theory. I am also interested in the noncommutative and higher-algebraic structures which arise in these contexts (Calabi-Yau structures, A infinity, etc.).

I am currently thinking about a handful of things, namely derived categories of singular varieties, singularity categories and analogues of matrix factorizations for non-complete intersection singularities, Bridgeland stability conditions, and semiorthogonal decompositions of surfaces.

While not strictly research, I often write notes for myself whenever there is an interesting topics course, try to learn a new topic, or run a seminar. While many are in too poor a form to be read, some of the more readable ones can be found if you click here. Of course, the usual warning is that I claim no originality in any of these, and any errors are my own. I have not spent much time checking for typos and mathematical errors, so reader beware.
