Zack Garza is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Center for Theoretical Sciences (NCTS) in the Birational Geometry group. Before joining NCTS, he obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Georgia under the mentorship of Valery Alexeev, focusing on compactifications of moduli spaces of algebraic surfaces. His dissertation work involves recent joint work with Valery Alexeev, Phil Engel, and Luca Schaffler on constructing KSBA compactifications of moduli spaces of numerically polarized Enriques surfaces of degree 2, and on classifying the boundary strata combinatorially. His research interests are in higher-dimensional birational geometry, compactifications of higher-dimensional varieties, and the reduction of classification problems to concrete computational problems in combinatorics, lattice theory, and toric geometry.
He actively shares his work through talks, seminar notes, and preprints accessible on arXiv and on his website at https://dzackgarza.com, and can be contacted at dzackgarza@gmail.com.
