Zhe Xu

I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Oregon. My advisor is Nick Addington. My research interest lies in algebraic geometry. Currently, I am thinking of the moduli of smooth quartic fourfolds and the integral Hodge conjecture on quartic fourfolds.

Previously, I was a member of the NTAG research group at Simon Fraser University, my advisor was Nils Bruin.

Here is my CV.
