معرفی
Ahmad Mokhtar is a Mathematics instructor at Capilano University and a sessional instructor at Simon Fraser University, both located in British Columbia, Canada. He is affiliated with the Department of Mathematics & Statistics within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Capilano University.
Research Interests: His work lies primarily in algebraic geometry, with focus on Fano schemes, toric geometry, toric degenerations, and computational algebraic geometry. He investigates geometric structures of matrix varieties, moduli spaces of linear spaces on varieties, and Khovanskii-finite valuations for rational curves. His research bridges pure mathematics with applications in quantum information theory through combinatorial graph schemes.
The recent publications show a consistent trend in studying parameter spaces of matrices with bounded rank, irreducibility and smoothness of Fano schemes, and connections between algebraic geometry and quantum state transfer. These works span both theoretical developments and computational approaches, often building on questions posed by other researchers like Ilten and Chan.
Teaching & Academic Service:
- Co-organized the SFU graduate student seminar in number theory and algebraic geometry (gradieNTAG)
- Active participant in academic conferences and workshops including SIAM AG23 and UBC/ SFU seminars
Advising and Grants: There is no public information indicating that he currently advises graduate students or holds external research grants. However, his collaborative publications suggest engagement in research networks and potential mentorship roles within seminar settings.
Labs and Research Groups: He is associated with the gradieNTAG (graduate student seminar in number theory and algebraic geometry) at Simon Fraser University, which serves as a platform for training and collaboration among early-career researchers in algebra and number theory.
