Alisa Chistopolskaia

Hello! I'm a PhD Student at University of Toronto with Prof. Michael Gröchenig. My main area of interest is algebraic geometry of moduli spaces. At the moment I’m working on adapting p-adic integration techinques used by my advisor Michael Gröchenig for Higgs bundles and Artin stacks to the moduli spaces of quiver’s representations.
