We would like to welcome our new faculty member, Dr. Howard Nuer. Here is a general description of his research: "My research runs the whole breadth of algebraic geometry, but overall, I like to use modern techniques to study classical problems. Most recently, I have been developing with colleagues some fundamental tools in Bridgeland stability that unify and strengthen the study of sheaves on algebraic varieties using derived categories and birational geometry. We have applied these techniques to study many important problems such as higher rank Brill-Noether theory, syzygies, and the modular minimal model program (MMP). The inspiration for many of these techniques comes from the phenomenon of mirror symmetry in string theory, so I am also interested in the resulting connections between algebraic geometry on the one hand and symplectic geometry, representation theory, and enumerative geometry, on the other". ...
