Jack Huizenga

Jack Huizenga is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at The Pennsylvania State University. His research focuses on algebraic geometry, particularly Hilbert schemes of points, moduli spaces of vector bundles, and interpolation problems. He is a co-organizer of the Algebra and Number Theory Seminar at Penn State.

Education: Ph.D., Harvard University (2012). He has designed courses introducing algebraic geometry through linear algebra and interpolation problems, such as Polynomial Interpolation: An Introduction to Algebraic Geometry.

Research Interests: Algebraic Geometry, with a focus on Brill-Noether theory, moduli spaces, vector bundles on surfaces, and birational geometry. His work explores geometric structures like Hilbert schemes, projective plane blowups, and stability conditions of sheaves.

Publications highlight advanced topics in algebraic geometry, including cohomology of vector bundles, Seshadri constants, and geometric interpolation problems. He has collaborated extensively with researchers like Izzet Coskun on foundational problems in moduli spaces and stability conditions.
