About me

An approximate English pronounciation for my first name is “ray-je", or here.

I am an assistant professor at University of Kansas. 

I received my Ph.D. in 2021 from Stony Brook University, advised by Rob Lazarsfeld and Christian Schnell. I was a postdoc at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, University of Hannover, Max Planck Institute for Mathematics and University of Bonn from 2021 to 2024.

Teaching

I am teaching MAT646: complex variables and applications. 

Research

I use Hodge theory to approach questions in complex algebraic geometry, especially singularity of hypersurfaces and topology of algebraic maps.

More specifically, I am interested in Bernstein-Sato polynomials, Kashiwara-Malgrange V-filtration, higher multiplier ideals, theta divisors on abelian varieties, and non-archimedean geometry.
