Research:
I work in algebraic geometry. I'm interested in:
Studying the geometry of a variety by studying the curves it contains,
Understanding how curves can influence the extrensic geometry of the variety, (producing sections, weak approximation, etc)
Understanding how varieties are or are close to being "rational".
