Kristin Shaw is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Oslo, specializing in Algebra, Geometry and Topology. She leads the research group on Algebraic and Topological Cycles in Tropical and Complex Geometries, funded by the BFS. Her office is located in room 1114 of Niels Henrik Abels hus, with contact information including email krisshaw@math.uio.no and phone +47 22855940.
Shaw's research focuses on the connections between combinatorics and algebraic geometry over the real and complex numbers, with particular emphasis on tropical geometry. Her work bridges abstract mathematical theory with concrete geometric structures, exploring how combinatorial methods can illuminate deep properties of algebraic varieties. She has made significant contributions to understanding matroids, real algebraic curves, and the topology of hypersurfaces through tropical techniques. Her research demonstrates how combinatorial structures can reveal fundamental insights about algebraic varieties and their topological properties.
Analysis of Professor Shaw's recent publications reveals a consistent focus on tropical geometry and its applications to classical algebraic geometry problems. Her work frequently examines the interplay between real and complex geometries, with particular attention to combinatorial structures underlying algebraic varieties. Key themes include matroid theory, enumerative geometry, and the topology of algebraic varieties, demonstrating how tropical methods can provide new insights into longstanding problems in algebraic geometry. Her research shows remarkable depth across multiple subfields while maintaining a coherent theoretical framework that connects combinatorial and geometric approaches.
Professor Shaw leads the research group on Algebraic and Topological Cycles in Tropical and Complex Geometries, which is funded by the BFS.
