Takumi Murayama

I am currently an Assistant Professor at Purdue University.

I am interested in algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, especially birational geometry and the study of singularities in all characteristics.

I am currently co-organizing the Purdue Algebraic Geometry Seminar with Donu Arapura, Zhiyuan Jiang, Shubhodip Mondal, Deepam Patel, and Jaroslaw Wlodarczyk.

I am mentoring a postdoc, Zhiyuan Jiang, starting Fall 2025.
