Olivier Martin is a Simons Instructor in the Department of Mathematics at Stony Brook University. He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 2020 with a thesis titled “Zero-cycles and measures of irrationality for abelian varieties”. His research interests are in algebraic geometry and include algebraic cycles, birational geometry, and K-trivial varieties. His past work focused on zero-cycles on complex abelian varieties with a view towards lower bounds on measures of irrationality for abelian varieties and their subvarieties.
