During the academic year 2010-2011, I’m on sabbatical at Colorado State University.
Research interests:
Algebraic geometry, tropical geometry, number theory, error-correcting
codes, supersymmetric string theory.
Teaching
interests: Project-based learning, Moore method. Check out the CAPABLE website!
In
2007 I gave a series of lectures at the Program
for Women in Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study, based on this
paper:
Bashelor, Andrew, Amy Ksir, and Will Traves, “Enumerative Algebraic
Geometry: Counting Conics.” American Mathematical
Monthly, vol.115, no. 8, October 2008, pp. 701–728.
