Curriculum Vitae

Here is my Curriculum Vitae.

Research Interests

I am interested in Algebraic Geometry, Algebraic Dynamics and Number Theory. I received my PhD in 2005 from CUNY Graduate
center under the supervision of Prof. Lucien Szpiro. In the past few years I have focused my research on Algebraic Dynamics. I have
been studying local and global invariants of self-morphisms of algebraic varieties: I am interested in applying tools and technics from
Algebraic Geometry, such as Grothendieck Riemann-Roch theory and etale cohomology to the study of these invariants and their
interrelations. I am also interested in Derived Category methods and Fourier-Mukai Transforms in Algebraic Geometry.

Publications
