Joseph D Rabinoff
Associate Professor of Mathematics

My research interests lie in number theory and algebraic geometry. More specifically, I do a lot of work on non-Archimedean analytic spaces and their applications to algebraic and tropical geometry.

Current Research Interests

I am interested in the intrinsic geometry of non-Archimedean analytic spaces and tropical varieties, and their applications to classical algebraic geometry and number theory.
