Colleen M Robles, Professor

I am a geometer.  My current research addresses the complex geometry of period maps, and related questions that are Hodge theory and its applications to moduli of algebraic varieties.  I have also made contributions to the fields of Finsler geometry, calibrated geometry, and complex projective geometry.  I have a side interest in the formalization of mathematics via automated theorem-provers and proof-assistants (such as Lean).
