Research

I work in Algebraic Geometry and related areas.

One of my main interests is the classical geometry of curves and surfaces in projective space, with a particular attention to syzygies. Another focus of my research are abelian varieties, from the classical Schottky problem to computational aspects of theta functions. I am also keen on applications of algebraic geometry, in particular to statistics.
