Abstract
The aim of the talk is to convey how vector bundles can be used to tackle geometric problems and why they are interesting objects of study. I will in particular focus on two different classes of vector bundles, namely the Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundles and the Ulrich bundles. The existence of Ulrich bundles on projective varieties and the stability of Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundles have important geometric consequences. I will attempt to highlight some of these during the talk.
