Jenia Tevelev is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His research focuses on algebraic geometry, particularly moduli spaces, birational geometry, derived categories, and tropical geometry. He has held prestigious awards including the Simons Fellowship (2019), Fulbright Scholarship (2019), and Sloan Fellowship (2007). Tevelev's research explores advanced topics such as noncommutative resolutions of moduli spaces, mirror symmetry, and categorical aspects of singularities. He has contributed to significant results on Mori Dream Spaces, hypertree divisors, and the geometry of vector bundles. His work bridges algebraic geometry with mathematical physics, notably through connections to scattering amplitudes in N=4 Yang-Mills theory. Research Grants: Multiple NSF grants (e.g., DMS-2401387, DMS-2101726) supporting projects on moduli spaces and algebraic geometry. Editorial Role: Managing Editor of Transformation Groups . Scientific Contributions: His publications address foundational questions in derived categories, birational geometry, and compactifications. Notable works include the resolution of the BGMN conjecture, studies on non-polyhedral effective cones of toric surfaces, and the analysis of stable curves via scattering amplitudes. Awards: Simons Fellowship (2019), Fulbright Scholarship (2019), Sloan Fellowship (2007). Mentoring: Tevelev has supervised numerous graduate and undergraduate students, fostering their research in algebraic geometry and related fields. His mentoring program supports underrepresented students through specialized training in algebraic geometry, leading to impactful contributions in areas like derived categories and tropical geometry.
