Fatemeh Rezaee
I am a UKRI Fellow at the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics (DPMMS) at the University of Cambridge, and a College Research Associate at Clare College. Part of the post also includes visiting ETH Zürich.
Before this, I was a postdoctoral fellow at MSRI, visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, a Maxwell Institute Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, and a research associate at Loughborough University. I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Edinburgh under the supervision of Professor Arend Bayer.
Semester-long programs at MSRI (Berkeley) in which I have participated:
Analytic and Geometric Aspects of Gauge Theory, Fall 2022
Derived Algebraic Geometry, Spring 2019

Summer Research Program 2024
For students: Please note that the deadline has now passed and the decision has been made.
Research
I am primarily interested in numbers and the geometry of numbers in a broad sense: using pattern recognition, computational geometry, computer algebra, commutative algebra, lattice theory, convex geometry, and combinatorial methods in problems arising in enumerative geometry, moduli theory, and number theory.
I am also interested in applying tools from derived categories, Bridgeland stability conditions, derived algebraic geometry, differential geometry, and geometric analysis to understand geometric and enumerative aspects of moduli spaces.
