Kiem, Young-Hoon

Professor

Algebraic geometry

A fundamental problem in algebraic geometry is to classify algebraic varieties and geometric structures such as vector bundles and sheaves. It is well known that these classifications are attained by algebraic varieties, called moduli spaces. By intersection theory on moduli spaces, we may find algebro-geometric objects of interest. Prof. Kiem's research has been mainly focused on the geometry of moduli spaces, intersection theory and enumerative invariants. He is also interested in applications of algebraic geometry.
