Professional interests

My research is in higher dimensional birational geometry. In particular, I am interested in moduli questions of higher dimensional varieties, especially varieties of general type. I am also interested in Kodaira type vanishing theorems, and their geometric applications. All of these questions involve dealing with singular varieties and incidentally I am also interested in studying singularities and relationships between the various kinds of singularities that one runs into in moduli theory.
