Samuel Payne is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan, located within the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. His office is in East Hall (5858) at 530 Church Street, Ann Arbor.
Professor Payne received his A.B. from Princeton University in 2001 and completed his Ph.D. at the University of Michigan in 2006.
His research focuses on the geometry, topology, and combinatorics of algebraic varieties and their moduli spaces. His recent work explores combinatorial and motivic structures in unstable cohomology, particularly for moduli of curves and abelian varieties. He has also made significant contributions to the study of toric varieties and applications of tropical and non-archimedean analytic methods in algebraic geometry. His work bridges abstract mathematical theory with combinatorial structures, creating novel approaches to understanding complex geometric spaces.
As a faculty member in the Algebra and Algebraic Geometry research group, Professor Payne contributes to one of the core research areas within the Mathematics Department at the University of Michigan.
