Sara Mehidi

Sara Mehidi is a researcher at the Mathematical Institute of Utrecht University, specializing in algebraic geometry, logarithmic geometry, arithmetic geometry, and algebraic stacks. She is part of the "Fano varieties: rational points and beyond" grant, collaborating with Marta Pieropan. Her work bridges fundamental mathematics with interdisciplinary applications.

Education:

• PhD in Algebraic Geometry from Institut de mathématiques de Toulouse and Institut de mathématiques de Bordeaux

Research Focus: Applying log geometry to address problems in arithmetic and birational geometry, particularly through torsor extensions and moduli spaces. Her research intersects with algebraic stacks and their applications in modern mathematics.

Teaching & Seminars: Co-organizes the Algebraic Geometry Seminar at Utrecht University and supervises master's student projects on topics like quadratic forms and the fundamental group. Previously taught tutorials at University of Bordeaux and INSA Toulouse.
