My work is in Algebraic Geometry with connections to Commutative Algebra and Combinatorics. My research interests span topics such as polynomial interpolation problems on higher dimensional varieties, birational geometry, positivity properties of divisors, Newton-Okounkov bodies, the minimal model program, secant varieties and tensor decomposition as well as general aspects of toric and tropical geometry.
