Samuel Grushevsky is a professor at Stony Brook University. He is interested in moduli problems, mostly those where curves and abelian varieties are involved. He has worked on the geometry, homology, and compactifications of moduli of curves and abelian varieties, and is always happy to discuss theta functions or more general modular forms, differentials on Riemann surfaces, curves and abelian varieties of low genus, or string scattering amplitudes.
He recently visited MPI MiS to give a talk on "An explicit weak solution to the classical Schottky problem" in the Nonlinear Algebra Seminar.
