William C. Newman

I am a fifth year PhD student in mathematics at The Ohio State University. My advisor is Hsian-Hua Tseng.

Research Interests

Most of my interests lie in algebraic geometry. My favorite sub-area within algebraic geometry is enumerative geometry, which then leads me to studying intersection theory, moduli spaces, and algebraic stacks. I am also interested in combinatorics and number theory.

Preprints

Tame nodal stacky curves with Martin Bishop

The first higher Chow groups of \mathcal{M}_{1,n} for n\leq 4

Mentoring

I helped create and currently sit on the board of OSU Cycle, which is a mentoring program designed to pair mathematics graduate students with undergraduate students to do research.

CV

Here is my CV.

Minicourse

In May 2025, I ran a minicourse on Voevodsky's mixed motives at OSU titled "Motives in May" with Jake Huryn. The website can be found here.
