Gavril Marius Farkas (born 1973) is a Hungarian-Romanian-German mathematician specializing in algebraic geometry. He is known for his work on algebraic curves, moduli spaces, and syzygies of algebraic varieties. Farkas is a professor of mathematics at the Humboldt University of Berlin.
Education and career
Farkas was born in Oradea, Romania,[1] and earned his Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics from Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, in 1995, specializing in geometry and topology. He obtained a Master of Science degree from the Mathematical Research Institute in the Netherlands in 1996 and completed his PhD at the University of Amsterdam in 2000[2] with thesis The Birational Geometry of the Moduli Space of Curves written under the direction of Gerard van der Geer (de).[3]
He has held academic positions at the University of Michigan, Princeton University, and the University of Texas at Austin[4] before becoming a full professor at Humboldt University in 2007.[5]
