James Hotchkiss
I am a Ritt Assistant Professor at Columbia University, working in algebraic geometry. In Spring 2024, I am at MSRI (now SLMath). Previously, I was a graduate student at the University of Michigan, where my advisor was Alex Perry.
My research interests include Hodge theory, derived categories, and Brauer groups.
