This Project Grant award for $250,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences supports research on flat surfaces conducted by the Trustees of Boston College, a private nonprofit educational institution. The award, which runs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026, focuses on advancing the understanding of flat surfaces and their applications across various fields, including geometry, dynamics, and algebraic structures.

Through this project, the Principal Investigator will employ a combination of techniques from algebraic geometry, analytic geometry, dynamics, and enumerative geometry to analyze different types of flat surface structures and gain insights into their geometric properties. The research aims to uncover new discoveries about space volumes and billiard trajectories, as well as to create mentoring and training opportunities for students and postdoctoral scholars. A key goal is to foster diversity and prepare the next generation of scientists in this research area, which lies at the interface of multiple mathematical disciplines.
