J. L. Doob Research Assistant Professor
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at UIUC working with Sheldon Katz.
My research interests are Algebraic Geometry and Derived
Categories. In particular, I am interested in Bridgeland
stability conditions and connections to birational geometry and
physics. Previously I was a postgraduate student of Arend Bayer at
the University
of
Edinburgh.
I am on leave for the 2017-2018 academic year, and can be
contacted at rtramel@illinois.edu.
Students considering a graduate degree in Mathematics should
consider applying for an REU
program. These are opportunities to gain research
experience and to get paid doing it!
In 2012, I was a mentor at the University of Connecticut REU
under the supervision of Milena Hering. Our students presented
at the Young Mathematicians
Conference in Ohio, and wrote a paper (to appear
in Proceedings of the AMS) on their work.
Math students at UIUC can also gain research experience through
the Illinois
Geometry Lab.
