Associate Professor Mircea Mustata received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley in 2001. His dissertation was on singularities and jet schemes. He has since held visiting positions at the Universite de Nice in France, the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge, UK, and Harvard University. Most recently he completed three years as a Clay Institute Long Term Prize Fellow. He is a specialist in algebraic geometry and commutative algebra. More precisely, he is interested in singularities (connections between jet schemes of algebraic varieties and properties of the singularities, via motivic integration), free resolutions (especially for general sets of points on projective curves and connections with properties of vector bundles on these curves) and toric varieties.
