Interests and Expertise
Toric Topology
My research involves studying topological properties of toric varieties. Many of these algebraic-geometric objects can be constructed from higher-dimensional analogs of polygons called polytopes. I enjoy studying how the combinatorial and geometric properties of these objects can be used to reveal information about the topology of the corresponding toric varieties.
