Movements of microbes

This research predicts the movements of microbes, such as Chlamydomonas and bacteria like E. coli, as they navigate their natural habitats.
Geometric objects

Birational maps between varieties

The project is about classifying geometric objects called 鈥淔ano varieties鈥�. The study of Fano varieties appears in many contexts in pure mathematics, with applications in Geometric Design, Theoretical Physics and beyond.
