Research Interests
Algebraic geometry, especially the geometry of surfaces and threefolds. My current research interests include: the geometry and moduli of K3 surfaces and Calabi-Yau threefolds, the study of degenerations and fibration structures, the explicit construction of Calabi-Yau threefolds, mirror symmetry, and the minimal model program. A more detailed description of my current research activities may be found on my personal webpage: Research Interests.
