Valery Alexeev is the David C. Barrow Professor of Mathematics at the University of Georgia, affiliated with the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on algebraic geometry, particularly degenerations and compact moduli spaces of algebraic varieties, including K3 surfaces, abelian varieties, and singularities arising in the Minimal Model Program. He has organized numerous conferences, including the 2007 'Curves and Abelian Varieties' conference and the 2010 'Compact Moduli and Vector Bundles' conference.
His educational background and early career are not detailed in the provided texts, but his extensive contributions include foundational work on moduli spaces of stable pairs, toric degenerations, and the classification of log del Pezzo surfaces. He has advised 12 PhD students, including notable researchers such as Adrian Brunyate and Luca Schaffler.
Research interests span birational geometry, toric and spherical varieties, and derived categories. His work often intersects with arithmetic geometry and combinatorics, exemplified by studies on reflective hyperbolic lattices and Z-emms in genus calculations.
Key collaborations include projects with Philip Engel, Gavril Farkas, and Rita Pardini, resulting in seminal publications on K3 surfaces, moduli spaces, and abelian varieties. He contributed to the development of KSBA (Kollár-Shepherd-Barron-Alexeev) stable pairs theory and their compactifications.
Teaching and mentorship have been central to his career, with active involvement in supervising graduate students and postdocs. He co-organized the 2023 Georgia Algebraic Geometry Symposium and remains active in the global algebraic geometry community.
