This Project Grant award of $250,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by Brown University in the geometry of algebraic curves and their moduli spaces. The key activities include:

  1. Studying the interpolation of algebraic curves through special configurations of points, particularly as the points specialize or collide. This includes exploring higher-dimensional analogs and systematic understanding of these phenomena.

  2. Investigating the intersection theory and birational geometry of moduli spaces of algebraic curves, as well as developing higher-rank Brill-Noether theory for how curves can be realized in Grassmannians.

  3. Complementing the research activities with educational initiatives for students at various levels, such as teaching problem-solving skills through math competitions, supervising undergraduate research, and running a summer school in algebraic geometry.

The award period runs from July 15, 2025 to June 30, 2030. No subawards are planned under this grant.
