                        studies variable properties of typical algebraic
                        varieties as opposed to invariant properties or
                        extremal properties. For instance, a complex
                        algebraic projective plane curve is always
                        topologically connected, which is an invariant
                        property;  a real algebraic projective plane
                        curve of degree $d$ has, by a classical theorem
                        of Harnack, at most $g+1=(d-1)(d-2)/2+1$
                        connected components where $g$ denotes genus,
                        which is an extremal property; whereas a random
                        real algebraic projective degree $d$ plane curve
                        in a suitable precise sense (to be explained in
                        the talk) has an expected number of connected
                        components of order $d$. In this talk, I will
                        first present the setup and some of the main
                        known results of the field of random algebraic
                        geometry. I will then proceed to discuss some of
                        our results on the expected properties of
                        amoebas of random complex algebraic varieties,
                        based on a joint work with Turgay Bayraktar, and
                        another joint work with Jean-Yves Welschinger.</font></font></b></b><font
