I am Assistant Professor (tenure track) at the University of Connecticut since Fall 2009. A CV.

Teaching

In the Fall Semester 2011, I am teaching Introduction to Algebraic Geometry and Geometry (2360Q).

Previously, I have taught: In the Fall Semester 2010: Introduction to Topology and Geometry and Honors Calculus II. In the Spring Semester 2010: Applied Linear Algebra (2210Q) and Algebraic Geometry 2 (5031); In Fall Sememster 2009: Multivariable Calculus (2110Q) and Probability (3160).

2011 Putnam Exam

If you are interested in taking the Putnam exam, please email me - registration has closed, but if other registered students drop out, you would be able to take their spot.

Research interests

Lecture notes

Here are brief lecture notes on Bridgeland stability conditions intended for graduate students interested in the topic.

Theses

My PhD thesis on "Semisimple Quantum Cohomology, deformations of stability conditions and the derived category", written under supervision of Yuri I. Manin.

My diploma thesis on "Semisimple Frobenius Manifolds and Quantum Cohomology", also supervised by Yuri I. Manin.

My essay (for the exams of "Part III" in Cambridge) on "Mirror Symmetry for the Elliptic Curve", written under supervision by Alessio Corti.

AGNES

The Algebraic Geometry Northeastern Series (AGNES) is a series of algebraic geometry workshops in the Northeast, meeting twice a year since 2009. The next UConn workshop is expected to take place in the Fall 2013.
