Brendan E. Hassett is the Jonathan Nelson University Professor of Mathematics and the Director of the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics at Brown University. His work primarily focuses on algebraic geometry, which studies geometric objects defined by polynomial equations. This field is characterized by the feedback between polynomial algebra, enabling explicit computation along with geometric intuition and visualization. His research interests include moduli classification problems, rational points, and arithmetic questions, as well as rationality problems within classical geometry related to curves and surfaces. Hassett has received numerous accolades throughout his career, including being named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2023 and a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2014. He has also received the Charles W. Duncan Jr. Achievement Award for Outstanding Faculty at Rice University in 2009, along with several National Science Foundation awards.
