Supervisor’s research interests:
Affine algebraic varieties over algebraically closed fields represent a classical topic of algebraic geometry. Their automorphism groups are a rich domain of research that includes combinatorial representations of reductive group actions and birational self-maps. I am interested in topic of transitivity, additive actions, infinite-dimensional subgroups (called ind-groups), toric and T-varieties, and integer-point orbits on varieties corresponding to Diophantine equations.

Research highlights:
  • This research program involves international
  • collaboration with research groups in the UK,
  • Germany, and France.

Supervisor’s specific requirements:
  •  Background in basic algebraic geometry.
  •  Acquaintance with algebraic groups.
  •  Python3 knowledge is preferable.
