A moduli space is a space where each point corresponds to a shape of some kind. It helps us study all shapes of a given kind together. In this talk, we’ll take a guided tour of the moduli space of triangles and the moduli space of circles. I hope the concept of moduli will give you a new perspective of these familiar shapes!

Hannah Kerner Larson is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at UC Berkeley and a Clay Research Fellow. She received her Ph.D. from Stanford, where she was advised by Ravi Vakil. Her research centers around moduli spaces and algebraic curves.
