Dhruv Ranganathan is visiting MPI MiS for two weeks this summer coming from Cambridge, USA on his way to Cambridge, UK.
His current research revolves around discrete and combinatorial structures that arise in the study of algebraic varieties and the leveraging of these structures to establish new results in algebraic geometry.
He is especially interested in the study of moduli spaces, which are essentially spaces where the points themselves have some intrinsic geometric meaning. These moduli spaces have hidden discrete structures that have only just started to reveal themselves, and are a powerful tool in algebraic geometry.
