Isolated Hypersurface Singularities as Noncommutative Spaces Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor Tony Pantev for his continuous support and encouragement throughout my time at Penn. Tony has been an excellent advisor. His enthusiasm for my work and for mathematics in general was always a great source of motivation. I am deeply grateful for all the insights which he shared with me while giving me confidence to explore my own ideas. There are many others without whom this work would not have been possible and it is a pleasure to thank them. I begin by thanking Pranav Pandit for being my mathematical companion and a great friend. Much of my current mathematical perspective has been shaped in our countless mathematical discussions.
