Research
Brian Osserman’s research covers a range of topics within
algebraic geometry, including
enumerative geometry, positive-characteristic geometry,
moduli spaces and stacks, and degeneration and deformation techniques.
Algebraic curves are a frequently recurring theme, with much of my work focusing on maps of curves and vector bundles on curves.
