My research is in the field of algebraic geometry with a focus on degenerations of algebraic objects. In particular, I study compactifications of configuration spaces of points on algebraic varieties and moduli problems associated with them. Additionally, I am interested in Gromov-Witten theory and enumerative geometry. More specifically, I study moduli spaces of stable maps from curves to Fulton-MacPherson type targets from the point of view of logarithmic geometry, as well as their connections to other curve counting theories.
