Mircea Mustață
Mircea Immanuel Mustață ([mir.'tʃa musˈta.t͡sə]; born 1971) is a Romanian-American mathematician, specializing in algebraic geometry.
Background
Mustață was born in Romania. He received a bachelor's degree in 1995 and a master's degree the following year, both from the University of Bucharest.[1] For his doctorate, Mustață moved to the United States, obtaining his PhD from UC Berkeley in 2001. His thesis, Singularities and Jet Schemes, was advised by David Eisenbud.[2]
A Clay Research Fellow during 2001–04, Mustață held postdoc positions at the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis (Fall 2001), the Isaac Newton Institute (Spring 2002), and Harvard University (2002–04).
Since 2004, when he became an associate professor, Mustață has been on the faculty of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. He was made a full professor by Michigan in 2008.[1] In fall 2006, he was at the Institute for Advanced Study.[3] From 2006 to 2011, he held a five-year Packard Fellowship.[1]
Mustață was an invited speaker at the 2004 European Mathematical Congress in Stockholm and at the 2014 International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul.[4]
His doctoral students include Fields medalist June Huh.[2]
Research
Mustață's research deals with a wide range of topics in algebraic geometry, including:
various invariants of singularities of algebraic varieties, such as minimal log discrepancies, log canonical thresholds, multiplier ideals, Bernstein–Sato polynomials and F-thresholds ... resolutions of singularities, jet schemes, D-modules or positive characteristic methods ... birational geometry, asymptotic base loci and invariants of divisors, and toric varieties.[5]
